Trevor Uyesugi was still out of his chair for this hand, and Ludovic Lacay raised 180,000 into his dead big blind. Daniel Alaei called, and they took a heads-up flop of 
. Lacay checked, and Alaei was going to bet. He cut out 400,000, broke it down, then shuffled it back together. Then he took four of the chips back onto his stack and cut down the 300,000 and shuffled it back together again. Then he grabbed the four chips back off his stack, cut and shuffled 400,000 again. He moved it forward into the middle, and cut 300,000 of it out into the pot, plopping those four remainder chips back atop his stacks.
Without wasting too much time, Lacay verbally announced a raise and slid out 1.5 million in three towers of green chips. Alaei waited patiently for Lacay to finish, then helicoptered his cards into the muck.
