Four-Way All In Ends With Chop Pot

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Shouyi Gao opened to 84,000 from under the gun before James Gilbert moved all in for 755,000 from middle position. Jacob Hershey then re-jammed his larger stack of 985,000 from the cutoff and Elia Ahmadian went into the tank on the button. Eventually he too announced he was all in. The blinds got out of the way and Gao, despite the insane amount of action ahead of him, called off as well.

James Gilbert: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Jacob Hershey: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Elia Ahmadian: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Shouyi Gao: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Somehow all four players had woken up with strong hands. The {5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop immediately launched James Gilbert into the lead with nothing changing on the {6-Clubs} turn. The {3-Hearts} river put a straight on the board, sending all the chips back to their original owners and concluding what was certainly the hand of the tournament so far.
