When we arrived at Table 20, Jordan Westmorland and Jason Gray were deeply involved in a hand on a 
board. By the time we caught the action, Wesmorland had a bet of 22,500 in front of him and Gray had moved all in for 39,700 more. Westmorland eventually made the call and watched on as Gray turned over
