Florian Surkamp Flops Hard in Four-Way All-In

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

As is typical in the game of Pot-Limit Omaha, players are getting their chips in the middle quite willingly as the first level of play unfolds, and German player Florian Surkamp is glad they are.

We watched Surkamp, whose large stack suggested he had already doubled in a previous hand, get it all-in against no less than three opponents.

Showdown:

Surkamp: {K-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Opponent #1: {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Opponent #2: {10-Spades}{j-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Opponent #3: {5-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Surkamp was in good shape with pocket kings over pocket queens, as both of the other queens were out of play, while none of his opponents held an ace.

The flop came {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and suddenly it was Surkamp's lowly deuce that gave him a commanding lead in the hand, and the turn ({A-Hearts}) and river ({9-Spades}) left him with trips, and a massive pot pushed his way.
