John Howe limped in for 16,000 under the gun, Ryan Hoenig did the same in the cutoff, Andrew Becker followed suit on the button, Chris Leslie-Hynan completed in the small blind, and Mark Kastory was forced all in for 2,000 in the big blind.

The flop was AdJhJc and action checked to Hoenig who bet 20,000, successfully isolated the action and winning the side pot.

Hoenig showed 9s9d5d5s for jacks and nines, while Kastory showed AhKd9c3h for aces and jacks.

The runout kept Kastory’s aces and jacks best, quintupling his stack to 10,000.

Ryan Hoenig  –  545,000  (34 bb)
Mark Kastory  –  10,000  (< 1 bb)
