Level 15 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Michael Bills in the small blind, and he raised to 12,000. The big blind Maxwell Schrack then three-bet all in for 75,000, which was snap called by Bills.

Maxwell Schrack: A♣4♥ All in
Michael Bills: J♠J♥

Schrack would need to improve against Bills pocket jacks, but after the board ran out 9♥3♠7♦6♠K♥ the pocket jacks were still best, and Schrack was eliminated.

Action folded to Matthew Zambanini in the cutoff, and he raised to 11,000. It folded to the big blind James Crawford, who made the call.

The flop came 10♣9♠J♥ and Crawford led out for a bet of 15,500, which Zambanini called.

After the 5♦ turn, Crawford again bet, this time for 23,000, which Zambanini quickly called.

Both players checked after the 2♠ river. Zambanini tabled K♣J♦ for a pair of jacks, which was good enough to take the pot, as Crawford mucked his hand.
