Number 1, Number 2, and Number 3
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
If you could ask someone for the three best starting hands in no-limit hold'em, they would say pocket aces, pocket kings, and pocket queens. The chances of three players getting those hands all in the same hand, very unlikely.
But it happened on Table 13 and it was Travis Johnecheck who held the pocket aces (number 1) and was the shortest stack with 58,200. There was a very small side pot between Preston Willier who had pocket queens and Uri Foox with the pocket kings.
The board ran out J♣8♣7♠3♠9♣ and Johnecheck's aces held on to scoop a huge main pot while Foox received a small consolation prize.
