Dan Podheiser raises from the hijack to 70,000, Nikolai Markov calls from the cutoff, and Melad Marji reraises from the small blind to 290,000. Podheiser moves all in for about 1.1 million, and Markov calls all in for about 720,000.

Marji calls, covering both players, and they turn over their cards:

Dan Podheiser:  Spade 9Club 9
Nikolai Markov:  Spade AHeart 10
