Under the gun, Daniel Neilson raised to 18,000. It was folded over to the small blind, Kent Hunter, and he reraised all in for 54,000. After the big blind mucked, Neilson made the call.

Neilson held the best of it with a dominating {A-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} over Hunter's {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts}.

The flop paired Hunter and put him in the lead: {Q-Clubs} {8-Spades} {2-Spades}. Neither the turn, nor the river could pull things back for Neilson when the {J-Diamonds} and {4-Clubs} fell. Hunter was able to double to 115,000 while Neilson dropped to 114,000.
