The flop comes , Banghart checks, and Siegel bets 6,400. The player on the button folds, and Banghart calls, creating a side pot worth 12,800.

The turn card is the , Banghart bets 12,000, and Siegel tanks for a while before he calls. The side pot is now worth 36,800.

The river card is the , and both Banghart and Siegel check. As an all-in situation, all three players must turn over their cards:

Jeff Banghart:    (two pair, nines and deuces)

Siegel scoops the entire pot with his higher two pair to eliminate the player in the small blind.
