Eric Silverberg limped in from the cutoff, Matthew Zarcadoolas did the same on the button, Donald Maloney called in the small blind, and Brandon Ageloff checked in the big blind.

The flop was Kh9h5c, Maloney bet the pot of 100,000, Ageloff folded, Silverberg raised all in for 160,000, Zarcadoolas folded, and Maloney called.
