Martin Zamani: {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} which put Johnson in a deep hole, though the {10-Spades} on the turn gave him a few outs. The river was the {10-Clubs} though and Zamani fulled up to send Johnson packing.

Zamani raked in the pot and moved up to 925,000 after the hand.

Tilston Takes Smith To Town

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

After an open from Dan Smith from the cutoff, Keith Tilston raised to 68,000 from the big blind. Smith called and the two went heads up to the flop.

The flop was {Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Tilston checked over to Smith who put out a bet of 55,000. Tilston called to see the turn.

On the {K-Diamonds} turn, both players checked and the {2-Diamonds} dropped on the river. There, Tilston made it 65,000 and Smith dropped into the tank. He thought about it for a bit and eventually called. Tilston showed his {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} for a turned set and that would earn him the pot as Smith mucked.
