Matt dale moves all-in for 42100 and after a couple of minutes thought, is called by Jamie Reeve.

Dale manages to strike a little deal with Reevio just before they deal the flop and now has 8% of Reeve. (Reeve would have had 15% of Dale, if he survived)

The flop came 3 5 6 which helps Reeve a little more.
