Action!

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

The player under the gun shoved all in for 8,700, and the gentleman in the cutoff did so as well. From the button, Tommy Vedes shoved in too, committing his last 9,800 chips to the pot. Not done yet! From the big blind, John Lee called all in as well, his 12,325 also in the middle. We'll sort out the pot later, let's see the cards.

Under the gun: {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs}
Cutoff: {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}
Vedes: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Lee: {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

Everyone started yelling for their cards, and a small crowd gathered around the table to sweat the four-way all in.

Somehow, the under-the-gun player took a big lead as the flop came {K-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} to give him middle set. The turn {10-Spades} was a good sweat card for everyone, and the river {J-Clubs} made Broadway for the two ace-queens.

The player with eights is out, the player with nines owes 12,325, and Vedes and Lee chop it up. Well, actually nine players, a dealer, and two floormen chopped it up over about a five-minute period.
