Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Steve Wilkie

Steve Wilkie opened to 60,000 from under the gun and received four calls. The flop came {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and action checked through, bringing the turn {9-Spades}. Action checked to Wilkie, who bet 150,000. Jon Cohen had action fold back to him in the big blind and he check-raised to 400,000. Wilkie called.

The river fell {k-Hearts} and Cohen checked. Wilkie shoved all in and was immediately called.

Steve Wilkie: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Jon Cohen: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Cohen had turned the nut straight, only to find his hand second-best after Wilkie hit Broadway on the river to secure the double, planting him firmly over 2 million, while Cohen now hovers around 500,000.
