A player in middle position raised to 5,200 and Joseph DiChiaro called on the button. The small blind moved all in for 18,700 and both players called.

There is a side pot between DiChiaro and the player in middle position as the flop came 8d6s5c. Middle position checked and DiChiaro moved all in for about 50,000.
