"Four Seats Open!"

Prior to seeing the {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop, John Juanda and one other player were all in while three other players all made the call and were still in action. Of those three, Brian Hastings and Joe Kushner were included.

Kushner was first to act on the flop and put out 45,000. Hastings was next up and raised all in. The third active player in the hand also called all in and here's what was revealed.

Kusher: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Hastings: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Opponent: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Juanda: {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and the river the {Q-Clubs}. On the turn, Kushner made threes full of aces and that held up to take down the entire pot. In the process, Kushner busted four players, including Hastings and Juanda, en route to 325,000 in chips.

"Four seats open!" yelled Mohsin Charania from the table. "If this was a shootout table, you'd be doing pretty well," he added.
