It went by so far, it was not even clear who busted in the hand. All that has become apparent is the fact that Dietrich Fast had pocket aces and his opponent pocket kings.
Darrel Goh and David Peters were both eliminated but then immediately reentered to bring the total of second bullets up to 21 already. They were soon joined by Ivan Luca to make it 22.

Two players were getting to their feet as we approached Sam Greenwood and Mike McDonald's table. There was a pile of coloured chips heading Greenwood's way, and we had to make some sense of all the cards on their backs.
What was clear that Greenwood had won the chips on a board, but the other hands helped to explain the car-crash that had unfolded. According to Greenwood himself it was a four-way all-in on the flop with Greenwood , Berthold Winz , Fabian Ortiz, and Jyri Merivirta , which ended in Greenwood boosting his stack to over 200,000 and eliminating both Winz and Merivirta.
"Have you ever been in a post-flop four-way all-in?" asked Mike McDonald.
"I've been in some weird hands in my life!" replied Greenwood.
Ortiz was left very short and busted soon after as well.
