Hand of the Tournament; Four-Way All-In Scores Triple Elimination

Level 20 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Packed Pavillion Room
Packed Pavillion Room

Four players were all in and the board was put down by the dealer who caused shock among the table as three players were eliminated. One of the players at the table informed us of how the preflop action went down.

Doug Hartwick raised to 18,000 from under the gun and saw three players move all in. Hartwick had them all covered and called.

Doug Hartwick: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Opponent 1: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Opponent 2: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Opponent 3: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Board: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {9-Hearts}

All four players held a pocket pair, but it was Hartwick who won the entire pot after he flopped top set. One opponent also managed to flop a set of jacks, but it was not enough, and Hartwick, to his shock, swooped in the pot as spectators and his fellow players took their opportunity to take a picture of this extremely rare hand!

John Esposito, in the small blind and with two other players active in the hand, bet 12,000 on a flop {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Only the player situated in the hijack made the call.

The turn was a {j-Hearts} and Esposito shoved all in for a stack worth 103,000. After some thought, his opponent made the call and tabled {k-Spades}{8-Spades}. Holding {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, Esposito had outs to double up, but a river {4-Clubs} brought him no help.
