Eric Mizrachi Inches From Felt, Then Off It Completely

A bad hand for Eric Mizrachi, but a full double up for Scott Palmer (one man's loss, in poker, is always another man's gain, unless it's the loss of a high value chip in the upholstery of a cab).
Mizrachi raised preflop and Palmer slowly called on the button. He was so quiet I didn't even notice he was in, because Phil Laak was keeping up a running commentary.
"Kid - you haven't raised me in a long time. I'm gonna fold. No, I'm gonna look, then I'm gonna fold."
In actual fact when it was his go he suddenly produced an awesome stage-villain laugh (Mwah-hah-hah-hah) and said, "I'm gonna play with you boys! Let's flop quads! Can't get much action, but it's still fun."
The flop: 
. Check to Mizrachi who bet 4k. Button Palmer moved in for just under 20k. Call. Laak melted away silently from the hand.
Mizrachi: 
Palmer: 
The trips held and Mizrachi had a mere grain of rice for a stack, which was devoured soon after.
