Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

With about 19,000 in the pot and the board reading {q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, Grant Hillman moved all in for 11,800. Markus Prinz was in the cutoff and called. Hillman tabled {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, and Prinz showed {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and was drawing dead. The river was the {5-Spades}, and Hillman got some valuable chips.

Then, Schuyler Thornton raised to 5,700 from the cutoff. Hillman was in the small blind and moved all in for roughly 43,000, Thornton called.

Schuyler Thornton: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Grantland Hillman: {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Hillman needed a lot of help if he was going to double up in back-to-back hands. The dealer spread the board, revealing {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, which didn't do it. Hillman made a valiant effort but was relegated to the rail.
