Jonah Lands Whale of a Pot

We just had a three-way all in, following a flop of {8-Hearts}{K-Spades}{J-Clubs}. Jonah Rogers was in for his entire stack of 27,000, Richard Burns was also all in for his stack of 55,000, and Walter Hall, who had them both covered, was there as well.

Rogers {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Burns {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Hall {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Talk about an action flop. Rogers was in the lead with his set of jacks. The turn brought the {10-Clubs}, giving Burns a flush draw. "It's never safe," said Rogers.

The river was the {K-Hearts}, giving Rogers the main pot, Hall the side pot, and knocking out Burns. Rogers now has 90,000, and Hall 80,000.
