Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

While that hand with Soi Nguyen was going on, we started to hear a big commotion going on at the table next door. That was because not one, not two, not three, but four players had shoved all in preflop. When the hands were flipped up, it was easy to see why. One player had {k-}{k-}, one had {q-}{q-}, one had {a-}{q-}, and the last player, Jay Tallman, who had them all covered, had {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}! Not only that, but another player at the table claimed she folded pocket jacks!!

As exciting as the preflop action was, the board itself provided no real drama, coming out {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, and Tallman scored the triple knockout to boost his stack to 20,000.
