HAND #41  –  Down to 975,000, Matt Hunt is in the big blind. Hunt puts 500,000 in for the ante, and is forced all in for 475,000 toward the big blind. Stephen Song raises from the hijack to 1,000,000, and Alon Messica calls from the button.

There is 2,175,000 in the main pot, and another 1,050,000 in the side pot. Any additional betting will go into the side pot.

Song and Messica check all the way down on a board of .

For the side pot, Song shows for king high, but Messica turns over to win the side pot with a pair of aces.

Any heart would make a flush, but Hunt flashes his heartless cards before the dealer quickly mucks them, and Messica wins the main pot to eliminate Hunt in eighth place.
