There is a three-way preflop all-in situation, with Steve Buckner all in from the cutoff for 520,000, Jesus Bertoli all in from the small blind for a little less than that, and Nick Phoenix covers them both from UTG+1.

Here are their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Nick Phoenix:  
Steve Buckner:  
Jesus Bertoli:  

The board comes , Phoenix flops a set of queens, Buckner turns a spade flush draw, and Phoenix rivers a full house. Phoenix wins the entire pot to eliminate both players from the tournament.

Nick Phoenix  –  1,680,000  (84 bb)
Jesus Bertoli  –  Eliminated in 39th Place  ($15,400)
Steve Buckner  –  Eliminated in 38th Place  ($15,400)
