We didn't catch the action, but when we reached the table, John Juanda, Sebastian Ruthenberg and Dario Alioto were all in.

Juanda: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Spades}
Ruthenberg: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Alioto: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

The board ran {a-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, giving Alioto queens full for the main pot and Ruthenberg Broadway for the side.
