Table 37 has been seeing some action. Richard Tossings opened for 2,000, and Ben Menache, seated directly to his left, raised all in for 10,450. John Karatambias on Ben’s left then also went all in for less (6,775). Tossings looked like he wasn’t sure if he should join the party or not, but since he had a decent sized stack and the two all ins were for relatively small amounts, he made the call.
Ben: 
John: 
Richard: 
The flop came 
, giving Richard a chance with a gut shot draw, but the 
on the turn and 
on the river were blanks and John had a nice triple up with his pocket Kings, while Ben took the side pot with his Ace high.
On the next hand, Ben shoved his stack of 7,150, and once again, Richard made the call.
Ben: 
Richard: 
The board ran out 
and Ben doubled his stack and is now back in the game.
