I Have the Nuts! No I Have the Nuts! No I Have the Nuts!

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Action got pretty crazy on a board reading {k-Clubs} {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} . The first player to act bet 525. Van Marcus slowly made it 2,725. Then the elderly gentleman to his left said, "I'm going to raise," and stuck out 1,500. He was clearly confused, but paid without grumbling when the dealer explained that he'd committed himself to a bet of 4,925.

"I'm going to raise too," said the original bettor, making it 12,525. Van Marcus then instantly moved all in. The third player thought about his decision for a few minutes, staring at the board and his chips. Then he moved all in too. And the first bettor shrugged and stuck in his stack as well.

Marcus and the original bettor looked at each other and agreed they must have the same hand. "You got diamonds?" Marcus asked. "Only one." At showdown it was {q-Diamonds} {j-Clubs} vs. {q-Hearts} {j-Spades} vs. {q-Spades} {j-Diamonds} . No one had a freeroll, so the {4-Diamonds} river didn't change a thing. And with that, the dealer split the pot three ways.
