A crazy cooler results in absolute carnage at the outer table.

Elad Shaar opens to 150,000 from early position and is called by Senchylo Zuev in the next seat. Tudor Purice then three-bets to 500,000 in middle position, and short-stack Ilyas Unlu goes all-in for 325,000.

George Yazbek is in the big blind, and he quickly four-bet jams for 3,470,000. Shaar is not deterred by the substantial action behind him, and moves all in with a stack of over 4,000,000. Zuev takes little time to think before moving his stack of around 3,500,000 into the middle. Purice smells a rat and open folds , to create a bonkers four-way all-in situation.

In an absolutely crazy spot, all players have broadway pocket pairs, with Zuev looking in good shape to take a huge pot, Unlu being a short-stack.

The runout comes and does not alter matters in the slightest. Yazbek is eliminated by Zuev, who also takes the huge side pot to take chunks out of Shaar, while short-stack Unlu will be disappointed at having to chop, and receiving less than a triple up. Zuev now has a huge chip lead.

Senchylo Zuev – 13,575,000 (181 bb)
Ilyas Unlu – 850,000 (11 bb)
Elad Shaar – 1,425,000 (19bb)
George Yazbek – eliminated
