After Barny Boatman raised in the lojack, Abrams called in the hijack and Mark Erickson called in the big blind.
The flop came and after Erickson checked, Boatman bet and Abrams raised. Erickson then called, as did Boatman, and a huge pot was already brewing.
Erickson checked again on the board-pairing turn, as did Boatman. Abrams then bet and received calls from both his opponents, creating a 1,800,000 pot before the river.
