Soliz Bluffs Chilton
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Action was picked up on the river in a pot between Clayton Soliz in middle position and Michael Chilton in the cutoff.
With 10,300 in the center and a board reading 2♣3♦10♥4♦7♦, Soliz checked over to Chilton who bet 5,000. Soliz then raised to to 20,000.
"Really?" asked Chilton as he contemplated his decision. After some time he mucked his cards.
Soliz showed A♣8♣ for just ace-high which had Chilton shaking his head as Soliz raked in the pot.

On the 9♣ turn, Kollar checked to Copeland who sized up to 4,000 and Copeland called.
Kollar checked once more on the river 8♠ and Copeland moved all in for 12,300 effective. Kollar pondered for a bit before putting in his final chips.
