Four-Way All In; One Outter; No Eliminations
PLO Bomb Pot
K♣Q♠10♣
10♠7♠4♣
Four players were quickly all in with cards on their backs the very first hand of the tournament.
Stephen Ko: A♥J♠8♠5♦
Camerondeep Dhaliwal: A♣8♥4♦4♥
Iacopo Brandi: A♦J♣9♥J♥
Rob Hollink: A♠K♠J♦5♥
The only player who didn't flop Broadway on top was Dhaliwal, who had a set on the other board. Hollink had a redraw to the nut flush on bottom and Ko had a straight flush draw working for him on that same board. Ko shouted out, "I got there!" as the turn peeled and he made his draw.
K♣Q♠10♣ 3♥4♠
10♠7♠4♣ 9♠7♦
The top half was split three-ways between Ko, Brandi, and Hollink, who all had Broadway. Ko scooped the bottom board main pot with his straight flush, but Dhaliwal had him covered and took a side pot with his full house to survive.
The dealer efficiently paid out each pot with no mistakes and there were no players eliminated despite the many shifting of chips.
