Jouhkimainen Removes Four in One Hand!

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yang Wang raised to 14,000 in middle position, and Joni Jouhkimainen called in the hijack. Cary Katz then came along in the cutoff, which tempted Daniel Negreanu to call on the button. Sean Rafael saw an opportunity to squeeze and moved all in for 75,000 from the small blind.

Wang responded by announcing pot, making it 271,000, with just a few thousand left behind. Joni Jouhkimainen then moved all in too, with the biggest stack at the table. Cary Katz saw value and put his 175,000 into the pot, which tempted Negreanu for a second time, as he put his stack of 434,000 into the pot. Wang was the last to call, putting his remaining 7,000 into the pot.

Sean Rafael: QJ1010 All in
Cary Katz: K876 All in
Yang Wang: AQQ8 All in
Daniel Negreanu: J1098 All in
Joni Jouhkimainen: 6553

The five-way all-in had four players at risk, with Jouhkimainen the player who could send four to the rail.

As everyone at the table stood up to watch, and others gathered around, the dealer slowly spread a 724AK board.

Once everyone had taken a good look at the board, it was confirmed that Jouhkimainen had indeed scooped the pot, eliminating four players at once with his wheel straight.
