Gregory Petit moved all in from early position, while Philip Iannone quickly did the same to his immediate left. The action folded around to Amir Hosseinpour, who also moved all in with all three players shoving similar short stacks.
Gregory Petit:
Philip Iannone:
Amir Hosseinpour:
Hosseinpour was well in front to begin the hand, and the runout did nothing to help Petit and Iannone. Hosseinpour barely covered the other two players, and raked in the pot for the double knockout.
