We saw a very unusual hand get us into the money in Event #4 $300 NLH. The player above in the red was getting low on chips and was forced all in in the big blind. The player under the gun (foreground, bottom left) opened to 12,000 at 2,500/5,000, and action folded around to the button, who reraised to 25,000. The opener called, and it was off to the [2d][2c][Kh] flop. The original raiser checked dark and folded pocket jacks face up when faced with another 25,000 bet.
That large side pot would be pushed to that player, who tabled [8d][4c] to the disbelief of his tablemates and the crowd that gathered around. The all in player tabled [8c][5d], which meant there was a 74% chance of a tie. The [2s] turn changed nothing, but the [4d] river meant the bubble would be burst as the winning hand was deuces full of fours.
A player busted on the same hand at the next table, so the two players will split 63rd place money for $270 each.
