A player in early position jammed for 22,000, a player in middle position re-jammed for 60,000, and William "Liam" Gannon called in the big blind.
Early Position:
Middle Position:
William Gannon:
All three players had a pocket pair, but it was the middle position player with the best starting hand in poker. However, it was no longer the best hand when the dealer fanned out the flop.
