We picked up the action in a three-way pot involving Phil Gordon and two unknowns at his table.
The flop showed 
when we walked up to the table, and the small blind had checked. Gordon checked his big blind, and the preflop raiser continued out with a bet of 500. The small blind called before Gordon snuck in a check-raise to 1,150 total. That was enough to fold the button, but the small blind moved all in on a three-bet shove. Gordon snap-called, and the cards were on their backs:
Small Blind: 
Gordon: 
Gordon was, er, well ahead and needed only to fade two running cards. The turn 
locked up the pot, and the 
river secured Gordon's double up. He's up to 8,000, eliminating a player on his way up.
