Leonid Bilokur opened with a raise to 52,000 holding 
, and the action came to Jason Koon in the small blind. When we saw that he was dealt 
, we knew the fireworks were coming, and the chip leader three-bet to 165,000. Bilokur took pause to make sure, then four-bet all in for 1.274 million total.
"I call," Koon said without much inflection as the decision essentially made itself. Bilokur was at-risk, but he was a slight favorite to drag the huge pot with his pocket pair.
The 
flop was clean for Bilokur's jacks, but Koon picked up some outs as the 
turned him a wheel draw. He was drawing to an ace, king, or trey for the knockout, but the 
river was a blank.
With a pump of the fist, Bilokur has doubled his way into the chip lead!
