Big O

James Obst raised to 56,000 from under the gun and both Daquon Wilson in the cutoff and Christopher Alcindor in the big blind called.

The flop rolled out 8♣7♥4♥ and Alcindor checked over to Obst who bet 93,000. Wilson called all in for 78,000 and Alcindor called in the big blind.

On the 2♥ turn, Alcindor bet 100,000 and Obst called.

Alcindor moved all in for 109,000 effective on the 6♥ river and Obst tilted his head back and forth before calling.

Daquon Wilson: A♣K♦9♦6♠3♣ All in
James Obst: A♠A♦5♦2♠2♦ All in
Christopher Alcindor: A♥K♣J♣10♠3♥

Alcindor had turned the nuts both ways, earning himself three-quarters of the main pot against Wilson, while scooping the side against Obst to eliminate the bracelet winner from the tournament.
