321 and Counting

Starting over 16 1/2 hours ago, saying this final table is a marathon is a gross understatement. To give you an idea of just how long it's gone on in terms of hands, here's a look at the final hand count of some major final tables of the last few years:

2007 WSOP Las Vegas Main Event: 205 hands
2007 WSOP Europe Main Event: 211 hands
2008 EPT Grand Final: 274 hands
2008 Aussie Millions Main Event: 178 hands

Hand #322 - Stanislav Alekhin

Stanislav Alekhin has the button and raises to 100,000. John Juanda makes a quick call and we see the flop come {J-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {J-Spades}.

Juanda checks to Alekhin who checks behind. The turn brings the {5-Diamonds} and Juanda takes a stab at the pot with a 120,000 bet. Alekhin then counts out 275,000 in chips and slides them into the middle, check-raising Juanda and forcing him out of the hand.
