Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Grant Hinkle opened the button to 50,000 and John Smith called in the small blind. In the big blind, Michael Perrone jammed for 230,000 and both opponents called.
The J♠J♦9♦7♥10♦ board was checked down until Smith check-called a bet of 50,000 from Hinkle.
Michael Perrone: A♠A♦ 
John Smith: A♥10♥
Grant Hinkle: 9♠8♠
Hinkle rivered a straight to crack the aces of Perrone who hit the rail in brutal fashion as Hinkle takes the chip lead.
