Nathaniel Wiesner opened to 1,000 from under the gun and Matthew Beinner called in the cutoff. Pomjun Cha confirmed the bet size before calling from the small blind, with Xixiang Luo defending his big blind.

All four players checked through the J♦J♠2♠ flop, and Cha checked again after the 4♥ turn.

Luo fired a bet of 2,100, producing a fold from Wiesner. Beinner then raised to 8,000 and Cha quickly got out of the way. Luo took a moment before sliding his cards into the muck.

Beinner showed J♣J♥ for quads as he raked in the pot.

"There's a three-way all in at my table," Allen Kessler said as Michael Balan, Kenneth Lin, and David Smith had built a pot of around 40,000 on a board of A♥10♦4♦8♠.

Lin then moved all in for 40,000 on the button and Balan reshoved in the small blind for 60,000. Smith tanked for a few minutes but eventually let his hand go.

Lin showed J♥10♥8♥3♥2♣, while Balan had A♣K♣10♠6♠2♥. "Wow. Those were not the two hands I was expecting," Kessler said.

"Those weren't the hands I was expecting, either," Smith added.

The river was the Q♣ and Balan took the high pot with aces and tens, while Lin took the low to chop the big pot.
