Four-Way Pot? Knoll Problem
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Ronald McMillen opened the action from early position with a raise to 625,000. In a rare sight for a Day 4, four players went to a flop, with Scott Manzi calling from the hijack, and Ryan Knoll and Valentin Vornicu both defending their blinds.
Action checked through on a 3♦10♠4♠ flop, bringing in the K♦ turn. Here, first to act Knoll placed 650,000 into the middle, and only McMillen stuck around to see the river. The 2♥ river hit the felt, and Knoll went to reach for chips, but McMillen had already folded by the time he got a bet out. "It was tantalizing enough to hope for a spade," said McMillen.
