Matthew Zarcadoolas moved all in from the button for 380,000, Nicholas Seward called from the small blind, and Eric Siegel called all in from the big blind for 315,000.

These were their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Nicholas Seward:  AdJs
Matthew Zarcadoolas:  KcJh
Eric Siegel:  QhQc

The flop came Ah6h3d, and Seward took the lead with a pair of aces.

But the turn card was the Qs, giving Siegel the lead with a set of queens, and giving Zarcadoolas outs with a gutshot straight draw.

The river card was the Jd, and Siegel won the main pot worth 985,000 with his set of queens to triple up in chips. Seward won the smaller side pot worth 130,000 with two pair, aces and jacks, to eliminate Zarcadoolas in fifth place.

Eric Siegel  –  985,000  (25 bb)
Nicholas Seward  –  1,635,000  (41 bb)
Matthew Zarcadoolas  –  Eliminated in 5th Place  ($12,500)

With four players remaining, the average chip stack is around 1,255,000 (31 big blinds), and the remaining players are guaranteed to earn at least $16,500 each.
