Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With around 35,000 in the pot and a flop of , Donald Williams checked from the small blind and Drew O'Connell bet 13,000 from middle position.
Williams woke up with a check-raise to 38,000 and O'Connell called to see the turn.
Williams returned to checking and O'Connell tossed out another bet, this time 50,000. Williams responded by check-raising all in for around 165,000 and O'Connell, who had 148,000 after his bet, shrugged and dropped in some chips.
Williams:
O'Connell:
Both players had flopped top pair but O'Connell's kicker had him way out in front. Williams was looking for a five to stay alive, but it was not meant to be as the bricked to send him to the rail.
