Event 4: Four Way All In-sanity

$500 + $60 NL

Michael Green Said His Prayers

Hand of the tournament. Everyone was standing and cheering, then the winner shot his arms into the air saying, "Thank You Jesus". Funny thing was the worst hand in won, and the second worst hand in won the side pot. When the dust cleared, only one player was felted in the four-way all in.

Nelson Costa (Miami, FL) was first to act and figured he'd steal with only pocket ducks. So he shoves all in.

Next to act has QQ♠ and jams.
Next is big stack Tom Schafer with AK♣ so he pushes.
Finally, Michael Green holding AJ of spades gets his 21,000 into the middle.

Flop: 2♠ 3♣ 7
Costa hits a set and is feeling good.
Turn: 8♠
River: K♠

That's right, runner, runner spades giving A♠J♠ the nuts.
Green quads up to 75,000.
Nelson also has 75,000 as his set of two's won the side.
