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.

Benyamine had tens-full on the top; Jarrett had two pair on the bottom.
