Claudel Joseph moved all in from middle position for 525,000, Carlos Loving called from the cutoff, and Omer Rotman called from the big blind. Any further betting would create a side pot.

The turn card paired the board with the Kh, and both players check.

The river card was the 2c, and they check again. All three players turned over their cards.
