[user75032]

It was an under-the-gun raise to 2,500 that got two callers before recent Australian Poker Hall of Fame inductee Billy "the Croc" Argyros moved all in from the big blind for 9,400 total. The initial raiser then reraised all in for 14,400 total. The two initial callers folded, leaving Argyros to fight it out with the under-the-gun player.
