For the first time in literally hours, we just had a three-way flop between our remaining players. Tamayo raised before the flop, and each of his opponents put in the two bets to match. The dealer spread out the first three community cards:

Nick Binger has been raising and reraising with zeal since we returned from break. He has won all but one or two of the fifteen pots we've played in that time.
In his latest hand, he has the button, and he opens for a raise. Jonathan Tamayo finally plays back at him, reraising to 60,000. Binger raises back, and Tamayo ceases fire, just flat calling the third raise.
The flop comes down
