Juan Mubarak was in middle position and opened to 180,000. It was on Josh Rittenberg in the hijack and he three-bet all-in for 1,230,000. Next up was Gary Flur in the cutoff who shoved for less — roughly 950,000. The button and blinds folded and it was back on Mubarak. Having both players covered, he had a decision on his hands, but folded. Flur was at risk against Rittenberg.
