Big O
Alan Sternberg opened to 40,000 in the cutoff and was called by Christopher Alcindor on the button for a heads-up pot.
Both players checked on the 6♥Q♠A♦ flop and then Alcindor called a 60,000 bet from Sternberg on the J♣ turn.
The 3♥ completed the board and Sternberg sized up for a bet of 200,000 — sending Alcindor deep into the tank.
Alcindor eventually opted to let his hand go and Sternberg collected the pot without showing.
