Four Way All In

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

We caught up with the action because of the crowd gathering around table #11. Chips seemed to be strewn everywhere throughout the middle of the table and four players were all in preflop, three of which were at risk for their tournament life. The hands were turned over as follows:

Player 1: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Player 2: {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Michael Bena: {6-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Sumanth Reddy: {2-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades}{Q-Spades}

Confused yet? Well the flop came down {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} jetting Reddy and Bena into the lead with sets of sixes. The turn and river came {Q-Diamonds} and {3-Spades} causing Bena's set of sixes to scoop the side pot, while the main pot was awarded to Sumanth Reddy, whose sixes full of queens proved to be the best hand. We lost two players on this hand, but the drama wasn't over there. The floor was there to supervise the penalties of two players for their actions during the hand, including hand winner Sumanth Reddy. Reddy received a seven hand penalty for exposing his cards with action pending, and another player at the table received a seven hand penalty for touching another player's cards.

After the high drama of that hand, the remaining players at the table were then made to play five-handed for a short while due to penalties and bust outs.
