: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
John Andress still enjoyed a small lead when he opened with a raise to 125,000 from the small blind/button and Brian Ali called. Both checked the 
flop. The turn brought the 
and a bet of 200,000 from Ali which Andress called.
The river was the 
. Ali bet 400,000 this time, and Andress raised to 1.5 million. Ali leaned forward, then said he was reraising. "Three million," he said, to which Andress immediately responded he was all in. Ali snap-called, flipping over 
for the nut straight. Andress quickly showed his hand -- 
for the same straight!
"Aw, man!" grinned Ali. "You couldn't have a set there?" The pair chopped the pot, returning to their same stacks of about 4.75 million for Andress and 4.05 million for Ali.
