Raymond Henson opened to 140,000 in early position and the action folded around to Paul Dhaliwal on the button. He hesitated as he asked to see Henson's stack. "I just want to see if I have you covered," he said as he was thinking. Eventually, he saw he did and jammed for 370,000. James Carroll was in the big blind and slid a stack of blues across the line and Henson called off his stack of about 330,000.
Raymond Henson: A♠K♦8♠3♦
Paul Dhaliwal: A♦K♣K♥4♣
James Carroll: K♠Q♥J♣2♠
Dhaliwal's kings were able to hold as the dealer ran out the Q♦6♥5♠6♦3♥ board.
Alemu Makonen raised to 80,000 from the hijack. Christopher Alcindor three-bet to roughly 300,000 from the small blind and Ryan Hughes cold-called from the big blind. Makonen then four-bet to 1,120,000. Alcindor put in his last 200,000 chips and Hughes made the call as well. The three players went to the flop with Alcindor being all-in.
Hughes checked the A♥3♣9♠ flop. Makonen moved all-in for 600,000 and Hughes made the call.
Christopher Alcindor: A♠A♣Q♦7♣
Alemu Makonen: K♥K♣6♠6♥
Ryan Hughes: Q♠J♦10♦8♠
The turn came the A♦ improving Alcindor to quads and an inconsequential 5♠ came on the river. Alcindor would triple up with quads, and Makonen won the side pot with a pair of kings.
