Hepper Wins Battle of the Blinds
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
On a heads-up completed board of 
, Jade Hepper was first to act in the small blind and he made it 12,000 to go. His big blind opponent, Mikiyo Aoki, then raised the price of poker to 26,000. Unsatisfied with that amount, Hepper then moved all in for 55,000 more, which sent Aoki into the tank.
After counting her chips and thinking out loud for several moments, she eventually shook her head and set out a stack of calling chips.
Hepper then showed her 
for the nut flush and Aoki decided to show 
for a rivered straight before sending it into the muck. Hepper was then pushed the huge pot to boost his chip stack up to almost 200,000.
