If you're looking for action then Table Griffin's the place to be, a recent four-way all-in so explosive that it made the ending of Independence Day look tame.

It was actually Gavin Griffin who started Armageddon, his early-position raise of 900 being met by a smooth-call from Freddy Deeb one seat along, an all-in call for 525 from a short stack, and an all-in from Jeff Lisandro in the big blind, who pushed for a total of 6,675.

With Griffin making the call, the action was back on Deeb who, after twitching in his seat and grimacing like a gurning champion, eventually pushed himself. Griffin called, and we had ourselves an absolute monster of a hand.

As a relieved Griffin scooped up a 45,000 pot, three players provided a rare sight by exiting simultaneously, some grumbling as they departed. Meanwhile, Griffin could but release a big sigh of relief and say, "I didn't like that flop."

And before you ask, "Three scalps at once? Has that happened before?" the answer's a big fat yes -- I once eliminated nine (!) players in one hand... although it was a one-hand turnover satellite.
