Todd Peterson raises from middle position to 80,000, and Gary Sewell moves all in from the button for 415,000. Barry Shulman calls from the small blind, and Peterson moves all in over the top for 1,545,000. Shulman calls, covering both players.

Here are their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Barry Shulman:  
Todd Peterson:  
Gary Sewell:  

The board comes — and Peterson flops quad aces to leave both of his opponents drawing dead. Peterson wins the pot to eliminate Sewell and double thru Shulman.

Todd Peterson  –  3,565,000  (119 bb)
Barry Shulman  –  325,000  (11 bb)
