Ziskin Check-Pots in Four-Way Pot

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

PLO

With 36,000 and the {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop out, four players contested the pot and they all checked to the {Q-Hearts} turn. Ryan Bambrick fired 18,000 from middle position, earning folds from hijack Alex Venovski and small blind Alexander Kobbeltvedt. Alexander ZIskin, however, announced a pot-sized raise in the big blind. He had just under the 90,000 so his raise was effectively an all in. Bambrick folded his hand and Ziskin scooped the pot.

Following a 3,000-raise from Keith Donovan in middle position and Yuval Bronshtein's call in the hijack, Keith Donovan jammed for 8,000 out of the small blind.

Sakura Sugawara raised to 2,800 on the button and Victor Vacher flatted in the small blind. Short-stacked Omar Lakhdari then squeezed to 6,000, leaving himself with 2,600. Both Sugawara and Vacher called and they all checked the {8-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop.

The {8-Spades} river didn't matter.
