Kowalczyk Holds in Multi-Way All In
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Four players got the chips in the middle before the flop and Christopher Tollett was at risk for 230,000, while Romain Kowalczyk had 215,000 and Kyle Shappelle called off his stack of less than 200,000 from the big blind and Norihide Tanaka was looking for the triple knockout as he had all three players covered.
Kyle Shappelle: 4♣3♥ 
Romain Kowalczyk: Q♣Q♠
Christopher Tollett: A♣9♦
Norihide Tanaka: A♦J♣
Kowalczyk's queens held on the K♣5♠4♥5♦8♣ runout and Tanaka took down a small side pot with his ace-high, jack-kicker.
