Jan-Peter Jachtmann raised to 3,600 from early position and was quickly three-bet to 16,000 by Dani stern on the button. David "ODB" Baker made the call from the small blind, and Jachtmann pushed back by moving all in for 14,200 more. This reopened the action so that Stern could get all in for 47,000 total.

Baker:
Stern:
Jachtmann:
It was anyone's pot headed to the flop, which fell . The flop wasn't much help to anyone, except putting out a flush draw for all three players. The turn gave Baker a pair of sevens, but both he and Stern were behind the nines of Jachtmann.
Needless to say, the river was going to have a lot of implications. The dealer burned and put out , giving Baker two pair and the win. He eliminated both Stern and Jachtmann to chip up to just over 200,000.
A four way all in preflop and no, this is not a cash game.
David Williams:
Randy Cherkas:
Adam Wessley:
Mark Davidoff:
The flop came which was great for Williams as he made trips but everyone else, hoping for a sweat was left with an anti-climax as the on the turn - the case ace - meant Williams was scooping the entire pot before the hit the river.
Williams has around 270,000, which is nearly five times the average stack.

"Alright, I'm all in," Marcus shouted. Before the chips were even in the middle, both Chen and Fernandez had called. Fernandez had his two opponents covered, so he was the only player not at risk.
Fernandez:
Marcus:
Chen:
Chen had flopped two pair and an open-ended straight draw, but was up against the top set and flush draw of Marcus. However, Fernandez held an even better flush draw. The dealer quickly burned and slammed down the giving Fernandez the said flush and the lead. Chen was drawing dead while Marcus needed the board to pair in order to survive.
Unfortunately for him, the blanked on the river and Fernandez scored the double knockout.
