Alexis Rivera called all in from the hijack for 100,000, Moshe Refaelovitz completed the small blind, and David Lee checked his option in the big blind.

There was 800,000 in the main pot, and another 800,000 in the side pot. Any additional betting would go to the side pot.

The flop came QdJs10d, Refaelovitz bet 500,000, and Lee called.

The turn card was the 6s, Refaelovitz bet 1,500,000, and Lee called.

The river card was the 4s, Refaelovitz bet 2,550,000, and Lee folded. Refaelovitz took the side pot.

For the main pot, Rivera showed Ac6h for a pair of sixes, but Refaelovitz turned over Qs8h to win the pot with a pair of queens and eliminate Rivera in sixth place.
