Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
James Lillis from the cutoff and Daniel Amsalem from the button had built a pot of just under 100,000 going into the river.
With the completed board reading A♣10♦9♣8♠5♦, Lillis led for 75,000 with only around 55,000 behind. Amsalem then jammed as the covering stack, to the immediate displease of Lillis. After around 30 seconds, Lillis opted to call to put himself at risk.
James Lillis: A♥9♥ 
Daniel Amsalem: Q♣J♥
It was a brutal turn for Lillis, who made aces-up, but gave Amsalem the nut straight. Lillis could not get away on the river, and Amsalem's stack grows to over 400,000 after starting the day with 163,000.
