Ollie Garland

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The cutoff raised to 4,000, the button called and Jack Oliver moved all in for 23,000, from the big blind. The cutoff thought for some time before making the call, while the button called off the bet for his effective stack of 12,500 in a snap.

Button: J♣10♣ All in
Jack Oliver: K♠10♠ All in
Cutoff: J♦9♦

Oliver was out in front and the 2♥K♦6♥ only served to confirm this. The A♠ turn gave the button some potential life, but the 2♠ river shipped the pot to Oliver.
