It's unclear how many bets it took for all the chips to go in the middle but on a {6-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop, a 185,000 chip pot was created, Jordan Lagano had Andy Ranaletti and a third player in the hand all in and at risk as the cards hit their backs.

Jordan Lagano: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Andy Ranaletti: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-}{k-}

Ranaletti was ahead needing to fade a bunch of outs. The board ran out {4-Spades}{5-Hearts} and as shocking as it may seem, pocket jacks actually held and earned Ranaletti a huge pot.
