flop, and action checked to Rieck in late position and he bet 1,000, getting a call from the player in the next seat over.
The button folded, and the small blind check-raised to 8,000, which is when the fireworks started.
After the big-blind player folded, action was back on Rieck and he looked at the next seat's stack.
Rieck then announced, "All in,' putting out a stack of 5,000 chips, which was followed by all-ins from the players in the next seat over and in the small blind.
All three players tabled their hands, with Rieck having both players covered.
