With the turn board reading 
and around 100,000 in the main pot, and 300,000 in the side, John Thornton calls a bet of 105,000 from middle position against an opponent to his left, with the all-in player on the button.
The river brings the 
and checks through. Thornton turns over 
for a pair of aces to take the side pot, the opponent on his left tables 
for king-high, and the all-in player rolls over 
to chop the main pot with Thornton.
John Thornton – 675,000 (33 bb)
