This one is complicated, and funny, and sad, and above all, MASSIVE.
Ross Boatman raised pot in early position and Joe Serock flat-called. Scott Mandel re-potted, and Boatman called all in. Serock called too, and a side pot was formed.
Serock and Mandel saw a 
flop and Serock went all in for 245,000. Mandel called all in for 244,000, a 1,000 chip difference.
Boatman: 
for a pair of nines
Serock: 
for top pair
Mandel: 
for an overpair and a flush draw
Turn: 
River: 
Yes, that's right. Boatman made runner-runner quads. As you do. He tripled up to 252,000, and after the hand went over and did a little dance in front of fellow Hendon Mobber Joe Beevers. Fair enough.
However, the more astute reader will have noticed Mandel, already ahead on the flop, had improved to a flush, meaning he took the chunky side pot and moved up to 490,000. Serock was left with just 1,000. It went in a couple hands later.
Serock: 
Danny Smith: 
Board: 
Smith flopped a flush, and that was that for Serock.
