Bohlman Bowls Them Over in a Four-Way Monster

Scott Bohlman came out victorious from a four-way monster pot just before the break to catapult him back into the chip lead.

A gentleman -- let us call him Guy A -- made a standard raise utg, and another gentleman -- for the sake of argument Guy B -- raised all in for 4,575 in early position. Guy C called in mid position, as did Bohlman on the cutoff. Guy A then went all in for a total of 6,400, and both Guy C and Bohlman called.

The two players who were not all in checked down the {5-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} board, and they flipped the following cards:

Guy A: {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds}
Guy B: {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Guy C: mucked
Bohlman: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

Guys A and B are eliminated, and Bohlman has a massive 49,500.
