Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Bradley McFarland raised to 180,000 from early position, and when it folded to Nick Kocman in the big blind, he made the call.

The flop came 2♠J♦4♠ and Kocman check-called a bet of 240,000 from McFarland.

Both players checked after the 3♣ on the turn.

The river was the 8♠ and Kocman checked to McFarland, who announced all in for Kocman's remaining 1,240,000 chips. After sitting in the take for several minutes, Kocman did make the call, putting his tournament life at risk.

McFarland tabled K♣10♣ for just king high, and Kocman showed J♠8♦ for two pair jacks and eights, to give him the double up.
