Ali Shoves in Four-Way Pot

David Salituro

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Arian Hassankashani raised to 6,000 in early position and received three callers, including Bashir Ali and Yucel Eminoglu in the blinds.

All four players checked the K♠7♣A♣ flop. Action checked to Eminoglu on the 4♣ turn and he bet 12,000.

Hassankashani called, but Ali then moved all in for 48,500. Eminoglu folded and Hassankashani asked for a count before joining Eminoglu in the muck.

"Why would you check the turn then shove? What could you have?" Eminoglu wondered after the hand.

"Pocket fours. He had pocket fours, confirmed," Hassankashani replied.

At the same table, Qasim Zia has built up his stack to 200,000.

Simon Davidson raised to 5,500 under the gun and Thomas Erentz called in the hijack. Mark Rubbathan then moved all in for 47,900 in the big blind, Davidson reshoved for around 60,000, and Erentz got out of the way.
