Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Scott Lake open-shoved all in for around 600,000 in the hijack and Preston Willier, in the small blind, announced an all-in after. With the big blind folding, the two players went to showdown.
Scott Lake: A♣7♠
Preston Willier: A♠9♠
The board ran 4♥Q♥8♥ as both players remained quiet watching the board. The turn 4♦ fell prompting Lake to hope for a chop. But the river 5♦ was dealt and Willier's kicker played eliminating Lake from the tournament.
