Very Unsatisfying

A series of escalating preflop raises. Three players, all in before the flop. Two with their lives on the line, another facing imminent ruin. Each thinking that winning this pot would give them a big stack early in the event that could possibly, possibly, propel them to the World Championship.

The players reveal their hands:

{A-?} {K-?}
{A-?} {K-?}
{A-?} {K-?}

Rainbow flop, chop it up. Back to the grind.
