Casella Has the Better Diamond in Four-Way Pot

Level 4 : Limits 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Four players built a pot of nearly 20,000 as they went to the 9102 flop. All four players checked to the 3 turn, where Karim Phillips bet from the big blind. Juha Helppi folded in the hijack, while Michael Casella called in the cutoff and Chad Eveslage came along from the small blind.

The 4 river was checked down, and Eveslage showed 55 for a flush. Casella, though, had 77 for a higher flush, and Phillips flashed 99 for a beaten set as the big pot was pushed over to Casella.
