Default What do you think

OK, this hand had me shaking my head. Luckily, I was not involved, but I honestly have no idea how it was played...give me some feedback. I'm new at NL and am still trying to figure strategies out.

It was done on crypto, so I couldn't find a converter. What it boils down to is .50/1 NL. Everyone folds but 3 people. All three are close to equal in chips, and there is only about $10 in the pot.

Flop:Qh 3h 4d

Player 1: bets $5
Player 2: calls $5
Player 3: calls $5
Player 4: raises to $97.50 and is all-in
Player 1: is all-in $86.85
Player 2: calls $92.50

Turn and river are both blanks.

Player 4 turns over KK
Player 1 turns over AA
Player 2 shows K8h

my jaw dropped when I saw what people turned over. Like I said, I'm new to NL, so I don't know what to think. The first all in I can see as a way to buy the pot. The second I don't see because of the possibility of a set, or maybe TP witha flush draw. The 3rd call has me absolutely baffled.

Thoughts?

The first all in sketchy, the second call is decent, the third call is also decent (if he has a decent read).

Player 4 figures with a flush and straight draw on the board, no one before him bet big enough to have a set, and figures his KK is good...don't agree with him, but that is what he is probably thinking. Player 1 fell in love with his aces and calls, and this call I don't agree with. Player 2 calls because he now thinks he has pot odds to hit his flush over the next 2 cards. My question is, regarding player 2 and his non-nut flush draw-- you have to assume that one of the all ins is a set of queens: how many here would make that call, knowing if you make your flush, it may not be the nuts, or it still may lose to a boat? Player 2 is 36.7% to win the hand if Mr. AA doesn't have the Ah, 30.8% if he has the Ah, as the hand is layed out. But Player 2 assumes QQ is in someones hand, making him a winner only 20.2-25.5% of the time, depending on whether the ace is out there. Make the call or fold?
