Stanislav Alekhin has the button and raises to 150,000. John Juanda makes the call and we see a {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

flop.

The flop is checked by both and the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

lands on the turn. Juanda opens with a 275,000 bet and Alekhin quickly calls.

The {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

falls on fifth street and Juanda fires the big guns, blasting a 475,000 bet. Alekhin wastes no time announcing he's "All in," and Juanda immediately stands up out of his chair.

"Alright, I call" says Juanda and Alekhin sheepishly turns over the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

for bottom pair; Juanda tables {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

-- far and away the best hand.

Afterwards, the marathoners find themselves back at square one:

Juanda: 3,850,000
Alekhin: 3,370,000
