Ari Engel raised it up to almost all of his chips from late position. He had just 3,000 behind but not everyone at the table could see that. Corey Harrison in the small blind announced his all in and Randy Haddox called all in. Harrison and Haddox tabled their hands but Engel still had chips behind, and in theory he could still fold. He choose not to though and we had a three way all in.

We're not sure what had happened before, but a big pot between Frazer and Corcione just went horribly wrong for Corcione.
