Briant Alavez opened to 60,000 on the button and Craig Mason called from the small blind. Ivan Poroliev also defended his big blind, taking the players three-ways to the A6J flop.

Action checked to Alavez, who bet 50,000 and only Mason called. A 5 turn was checked by both to see the 2 river.

Mason moved out 600,000, covering Alavez's remaining 260,000 chips. Alavez went into the tank and looked at his neighbor and again at the board, before finding a fold.
