Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Mike Chilton limped in from the cutoff, then called when Brad Johnson raised to 28,000 on the button.

Both players checked the 10♥4♠Q♠ flop. Chilton then moved all in for 50,000 on the J♥ turn, and Johnson quickly folded.

A hand before at this table, Chilton and Jeffrey Copeland went heads-up on a board of A♣6♣A♠2♠3♥ where Copeland moved all in for 93,000 from the big blind. Chilton called on the button, and Copeland turned over 3♠3♦ for a rivered full house. Chilton flashed an ace as he mucked, and Copeland doubled up.
