Williams Wins World; Everyone Else Should Run Away
PLO
A four way all in preflop and no, this is not a cash game.
David Williams: 
Randy Cherkas: 
Adam Wessley: 
Mark Davidoff: 
The flop came 
which was great for Williams as he made trips but everyone else, hoping for a sweat was left with an anti-climax as the on the turn - the case ace - meant Williams was scooping the entire pot before the 
hit the river.
Williams has around 270,000, which is nearly five times the average stack.

David "ODB" Baker made the call from the small blind, and Jachtmann pushed back by moving all in for 14,200 more. This reopened the action so that Stern could get all in for 47,000 total. Baker, who had both players covered, made the call.
Baker: 
Stern:
Jachtmann: 
It was anyone's pot headed to the flop, which fell

turn gave Baker a pair of sevens, but both he and Stern were behind the nines of Jachtmann.
Needless to say, the river was going to have a lot of implications. The dealer burned and put out 
, giving Baker two pair and the win. He eliminated both Stern and Jachtmann to chip up to just over 200,000.
