Four-Way All-In Without a Casualty and a Lot of Confusion

Table 16 was the next to break, but that had to wait after an enormous four-way all-in had brought no casualty and the main plus side pots needed to be split.

So what exactly had happened? Jon Persent raised to 3,500 and received three callers on the button as well as the blinds.

The flop came Q♣7♥5♥ and it checked to Persent, who bet 3,500. Gareth Fourie called on the button and Jaco Mouton jammed the small blind for 17,300. Keenan Pienaar in the big blind called, as did Persent and Fourie.

On the 2♣ turn, Pienaar pushed all-in and Persent reluctantly called, Fourie also put in his last 34,500 as well.

Jaco Mouton: 6♠4♠ All in
Gareth Fourie: 6♥4♦ All in
Keenan Pienaar: 7♦5♦ All in
Jon Persent: A♠Q♦

Persent needed an ace, queen or deuce to knock out three players. However, the twist then came with the 8♥ river as Mouton and Fourie improved to a straight. Mouton chopped the main pot with Fourie, Fourie won the larger side pot and Pienaar doubled the rest off Persent as no player busted!
