Luck

Blinds: t150/t300
6 players

Stack sizes:
UTG: t1830
UTG+1: t2650
CO: t2075
Button: t1710
Hero: t1435
BB: t2300

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is SB with 4♦ 4♣
2 folds, CO calls t300 (pot was t450), Button folds, Hero raises all-in t1285, BB folds, CO calls t1135 (pot was t1885).

CO shows 7 K (interesting call there)
Hero shows 4♦ 4♣

Flop: 6♠ J♦ T♠(t3170, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: t3170)

Turn: 4♠ (he's made his flush, I'm out unless I get a four on the river, I was thinking...)

River: 4♥ (!!!)

Results:
Final pot: t3170

Of course I was not correct, any 6, J or T would have given me a full house and also won for me, so I actually had quite a few outs at that point. Still... Anyway this was my first quads in quite some time, and it couldn't have come at a better time.

Unfortunately, in the next SNG, I was not quite as lucky when my all-in with AQs got called by ... 44. My opponent had a nice stack, about twice mine, and had absolutely no reason to call. He should have known that in the very best case, which he actually got, he was racing two higher cards. Of course, he was probably not thinking about this, but only going "I've got a pair! Hurray!"
