Joel Ettedgi started off the action with a raise to 2,200 from middle position Shawn Rice flat-called on the button and then Gavin Cochrane reraised the pot from the bi blind to 8,800. There was a dead small blind on the hand.
When action moved back to Ettedgi, he reraised and was all in. Rice then called and was all in for less. Cochrane called the all-in bets and had more than both players. Here's what they held.
