Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Under the gun, Jesse Okonczak raised to 85,000, and the table passed around to the button. There, Mike Morton gathered all 649,000 of his chips and shoved them across the imaginary betting line. When the blinds folded, Okonczak tanked and made the call to put Morton at risk.

Showdown
Okonczak: {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds}
Morton: {4-Spades} {4-Diamonds}

Morton was in good shape to double up, and the dealer kept him safe with a board of {3-Spades} {8-Spades} {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {K-Spades}. With his double up, Morton has moved up to 1.388, slightly ahead of Okonczak's 1.235 million now.
