A player in early position raises to 26,000. A player in middle position moves all-in for 116,000, and John Thornton calls on the button, as does the original raiser, creating a side pot.

The flop checks through, as does the turn. 

Thornton’s opponent checks the river, and Thornton bets 110,000, getting a fold face-up to reveal .
