Dan O'Hair

Blinds: 20,000/40,000

Action folded around to the blinds, where Chris "petcheetah101" Bilinsky called from the small blind and "HeaterISreal" shoved for 989,913 total. Bilinsky snap-called and hands were revealed.

"HeaterISreal": 4♠4♣
Chris Bilinsky: K♠K♦

The 2♦ turn changed nothing; however, the K♥ river gave Bilinsky a higher full house and "HeaterISreal" was sent to the virtual rail on the two-outer.
