Chance Kornuth raised from the button to 1,800, David Mock reraised from the big blind to 7,000, and Kornuth called.

The flop came Jh10s4s, Mock checked, Kornuth bet 3,500, and Mock called.

The turn card was the 6c, Mock checked, Kornuth bet 9,000, and Mock called.

The river card paired the board with the 6s, Mock checked, Kornuth bet 25,000 (leaving himself just 1,800 behind), and Mock tanked for a while before he called.

Kornuth showed Kh9d for a king-high bluff, and Mock turned over 9s9c to win the pot with two pair, nines and sixes.

David Mock  –  132,000  (165 bb)
Chance Kornuth  –  1,800  (2 bb)
