Hmm . . . double-suited aces are often good in that spot.

Four-way all-in preflop:

UTG -- {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

Bill Chen (UTG+1) -- {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

MP --

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

Ted Lawson (button) -- {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

Okay, Omahalics . . . who is the favorite here?

The answer, as Bill Chen surely knew, is Chen (by far). But did his hand hold up?

Board -- {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

UTG wins with quad tens. Chen and Lawson both rebought. Poor Chen lost with A-A-x-x yet again right afterwards (to Lawson), and rebought again.
