Hilton Grabs a Few

After trading small pots for the first four hands, our two heads-up duelists finally took a hand to a showdown.

It began with Dominik Nitsche opening to 125,000 from the small blind/button, and Jonathan Hilton calling the raise. The flop came {2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} and Hilton checked. Nitsche continued for 115,000, and Hilton called. Hilton again check-called Nitsche's 255,000-chip bet following the {Q-Diamonds} turn.

The river was the {A-Spades}, and Hilton checked one more time. Nitsche quickly checked behind, and when Hilton tabled {A-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, Nitsche mucked.
