Multiway Pots Gone Wild

My first 14k hands of November have been interesting to say the least. I started to mix in a tiny bit of 400NL (at a table with 3 donkeys - if I can find more of these tables it'll be awesome) which unfortunately didn't go terribly well.

It felt like I've run really really bad, but the results have been solid winrate wise. This is solely because I won three really big pots, two of which had four(!) players all-in by the end of the hand (in both of these I had top set). In one of these hands, all four players had ~100BB behind, and it was the largest amount I've won in a single hand of 100NL. In the third hand, three players with close to full stacks were all in.

Here are the HHs, with the most impressive first:
