In a blind vs. blind confrontation, James Hess went all in from the small and Gregory Alston called from the big.

Showdown

Alston: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
James Hess: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

The flop came {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Alsto sat up from his seat, bracing for the next two cards. The turn came the {K-Clubs}, but the river brought a {J-Spades}, pairing Hess on the end and leaving Alston thunderstruck and he walked away from the table.

Hess is up to 5.5 million heading into four-handed play.
