Nice Quadruple Up

The following hand could be described as a little bizarre as close to 70,000 was in the middle by the end of it, with multiple side pots, and two different winners.

It started preflop with an under-the-gun shove for 7,000 which found no less than three callers including one-time chip leader Andrew Topakas.

They saw a flop of {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and the three live players checked it around before the {6-Diamonds} hit the turn.

This prompted another all in, this time for 11,500 and incredibly both of the other players made the call.

We were now down to two live players as the {8-Hearts} fell on the river. Both checked and the cards were revealed. Topakas couldn't beat his opponent's pocket kings as the side pot was shipped when then other all-in player could only muster pocket jacks. Meanwhile the main pot went the way of the UTG-player who more than quadrupled up with his {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}!
