Huge Three-Way Pile Up: Kollmann Comes Out on Top

After leaving the Phil Hellmuth hand we just reported on we came across a car-wreck involving Erich Kollmann, Vladimir Shchemelev and Bruno Benveniste.

The pot was well over 100,000 and the board completed and the players hands on their backs.

Board: {4-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {2-Hearts}

Kollmann{A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts}
Benveniste{K-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {4-Clubs}
Shchemelev{A-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {4-Hearts}

Kollmann scooped a pot of 108,000, Shchemelev was left with 45,000 and Benveniste was eliminated.
