Featured Table - Jon Kalmar Doubles Through Daniel Alaei

Jon Kalmar
Jon Kalmar
On the Featured Table, Jon Kalmar says "Raise" from middle position, but throws in more than half a raise but less than a full raise -- regardless of his originally intent, he is required to make the minimum raise to 120,000. Daniel Alaei reraises from the button to 540,000, and Kenny Tran thinks things over for a minute in the big blind before he folds.

The action is back to Kalmar, he moves all in for 1.69 million, and Alaei calls with {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Kalmar shows {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}, and as the shorter stack, he'll need them to hold up to stay alive. (Tran says that he folded pocket jacks.)

The flop comes {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and Kalmar flops a set of kings for a dominating lead. Alaei needs something runner-runner to win the hand.

The turn card is the {7-Clubs}, the river card is the {3-Clubs}, and Jon Kalmar wins the pot with his three kings, doubling up to about 3.4 million in chips.
