Billy O’Neil raises from middle position, the player in the small blind reraises to 3,500, and Elvis Toomas calls from the big blind. O’Neil reraises all in for 14,200.

The small blind tanks for a while before moving all in for about 45,000, and Toomas calls, covering both players.

Here are their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Elvis Toomas:  
Small Blind:  
Billy O’Neil:  

The board comes , and O’Neil pairs his ace on the flop to win the main pot and triple up to 43,000 in chips.

Toomas wins a side pot worth about 60,000 to eliminate the small blind and still profit from the hand.

Elvis Toomas  –  92,000  (184 bb)
Billy O’Neil  –  43,000  (86 bb)
