Faisal Khan, sitting on the chip lead with nearly 3 million to start the hand, opened from utg to 52,000. Tj Ulmer moved all-in for 271,000 from the button, and before Graham Lupton had time to act in the big blind, Faisal announced call. Graham was only holding 14,000 more than TJ, and announced the call. Given it was a passive action, Faisal’s out of turn call was binding, and the three players went to the flop. Graham was sitting on the best hand preflop, and was in a great spot to triple up.
