Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Keith Tilston

Jason Koon opened to 30,000 from the button, Keith Tilston three-bet to 111,000 from the small blind and Koon called. The flop came down {5-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Tilston bet 60,000.

Koon called and the {5-Hearts} landed on the turn. Both players checked to the {9-Clubs} on the river and Tilston led for 175,000. Koon took a full shot clock duration, before he moved all in for more than Tilston had behind.

Tilston took until his very last second on the clock before he announced call for his total stack of 467,000 and Koon tabled {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for jacks up. Tilston looked of relief as he showed {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for kings over nickels and the better hand, taking down the pot for a full double through Koon.
