I'm going to say it was UTG +2. Silly UTG +2.

It's hard for me to put UTG +2 on top pair after calling a bet and a raise with two players already in. If he calls the river even with TPTK after two players are already in I think it's a bad play, in an unraised pot someone almost always will have that 9. I would put the BB on top pair. I guess you can't fold it in this case because you're totally pot committed. I play NL mostly so I would have folded top pair at my table but in this case I guess you have to call even though I don't the idea of putting in more money when you're practically sure you're beat. :D ~Slick~
