Alaei's Cowboys

We missed all of the preflop action but found Takashi Ogura all in from the big blind against Alex Melnikow in the cutoff and Daniel Alaei in the hijack who had already built a sidepot with some raising. On all three streets of the {10-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} board, Melnikow check-called only to be shown Alaei’s {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} which was good for both the side-pot and main pot as Ogura was eliminated.
