A Little Bit For Everyone (Except Zeidman)

Level 17

Omaha 8 or Better

Split pots usually aren't the most entertaining of hands, but this hand was a big exception.

A huge four-way pot developed on table 456 involving John Monnette, Cory Zeidman and two other players, with everyone getting a piece of it by the end except for Zeidman.

Three bets each went in preflop, then again on the flop of {k-Clubs}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs}.

The turn {8-Hearts} was checked through, then on the river {k-Spades}, the player in the big blind moved all in, an early position player, Monnette, and Zeidman called, and then the fun began.

John Monnette: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Big Blind player: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Early position player: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}

The trio each got one-third of the low, while Monnette and the big blind split up the high half, with Zeidman left out in the cold.

AJ Chabra raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and Derek McMaster was the lone caller from the big blind.

The flop was {j-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{4-Spades} and both players checked.

The turn was {7-Spades} and McMaster bet 12,000. Chabra called and the river was {3-Clubs}.

Both players checked the river and McMaster turned over {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}. Chabra showed {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. McMaster's set of kings takes the high pot and Chabra picks up the low.

Chabra is chipping up to start Day 2 and he is looking for his second WSOP gold bracelet after taking home the $1,500 Limit Hold'em Championship online over the summer.
