PLO Sidegame has monster 4-way all in pre-flop

Sun, Jun 22nd 2008, 01:26 by Reporter

In a £2000 pot, 4 mania…sorry, players, get it all in in a £1/£2 PLO sidegame.

The hand that won it? K-T-5-8.

But the 5-8 were suited which prompted the call.

Kings over tens eventually took the pot down. His stack now resembles the great wall of china.
