It doesn't happen too often that we get to cover a hand with three World Series of Poker winners. But we just saw one between Matt Graham, Allen Bari, Joe Hachem and an unknown player. Bari and Graham both took half of this player's chips as he got eliminated.

We caught the action on fifth street when the short stack in this hand moved all in after a series of raises. All three of his opponents stayed in the pot. On sixth street there was betting on the side and Hachem folded his cards. Seventh street got checked down, and Graham turned over {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for a six-five-four-three-ace low. Bari showed {A-Spades}{3-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and had made aces up.

The all in player showed the {9-Clubs}, but his two pair came up short. He was knocked out and both Bari and Graham took his chips.
