Gee checked Getzoyan bet and Gee folded.

In a Four-Way Pot, Fours Are Good

Tom Koral raised from the cutoff, Ayaz Mahmood called from the button, Gabriel Nassif called from the small blind and William Thorson called from the big blind. The flop was {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Nassif checked, Hansen checked, Koral bet, Mahmood called, Nassif called, and Thorson called. The turn was the {A-Clubs} and all four players checked. The river was the {10-Spades} and everyone checked again.

Nassif showed the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, for king high with a busted flush draw, Koral showed {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for a pair of threes, and Wiliam Thorson dragged the pot with his mighty {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. Yes, the fours were good.
