On a heads-up completed board of K♥A♥6♣A♣7♥, Michael Chilton checked to Merritt Kuhn, who fired for 6,800.
After some hemming and hawwing, Chilton made the call.
"Weak ace," Kuhn announced as he tabled A♠5♠, but that was good to win the pot as Chilton quickly mucked.

Nienabor: 8♣9♣
Opponent: A♣K♦

Merritt Kuhn made it 1,000 to go from the button and was called by both players in the blinds to see a flop of 10♣10♠7♠.
The action checked to Kuhn who continued for another 1,000, but then the small blind check-raise all in for 10,800.
The big blind quickly got out of the way and it was back to Kuhn, who took some time ot think before he eventually made the call to put his opponent at risk.
"Agh, I was just making a move," the small blind admitted as the hands were tabled.
Small Blind: J♥8♣
Merritt Kuhn: K♣K♠
The small blind player would need a nine for a gutshot or a running full house to stay alive, but the runout of 4♠5♦ failed to get him there and he was sent to the rail while Kuhn scooped the pot.
