Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Kevin Wickersheim led out from middle position on the Q♠10♣4♦A♠ board, making the call when Alan Marks moved all in to his left.

Alan Marks: K♠J♣
Kevin Wickersheim: K♣K♥

Wickersheim's kings were behind Marks' turned straight, with players at the table realizing that a jack would chop the pot. The river J♦ did just that, as Marks was denied the double up while Wickersheim escaped with a chop.

Player	Chips	Progress
Kevin Wickersheim	282,000 222,500	222,500
Alan Marks	230,000 146,000	146,000
