Epic Four-Way Showdown Ends in Double Knockout

Sava Krink

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Tomas Vaskunas opened the action with a raise from middle position, and Yesset Aimukhanov, sitting in the hijack, responded by going all in. Mihai Niste followed suit from the button, pushing his entire stack forward as well. But the excitement didn’t stop there—Viktors Vorobjovs in the small blind took some time before also committing his chips. When the action circled back to Vaskunas, he made the call, setting up a massive four-way all-in showdown.

Yesset Aimukhanov: 10?10? All in
Tomas Vaskunas: K?K? All in
Viktors Vorobjovs: Q?Q? All in
Mihai Niste: J?J?

The kings were in the lead, but that changed on the turn when the board ran out 6?6?7?J?, giving Niste a full house, jacks over sixes.

However, with one card to come, the dealer revealed the K? on the river, flipping the script once again as Vaskunas hit a full house, kings over sixes.

Vaskunas covered Aimukhanov and scooped 28,000 in chips from both Niste and Vorobjovs. Niste had more chips than Vorobjovs, so he took the side pot. Two eliminations resulted, while Vaskunas nearly quadrupled his stack.
