Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was heads up on the 5688 turn, with more than 5,000 already in the middle.

Steven Christopher led out for 6,000 in the big blind, and John Machen took some time before tossing in the call. Christopher then slid the rest of his stack into the middle in the dark, and the dealer flipped over the 4 river.

Machen did not take long to let his hand go, and Christopher collected the pot.
