Keith Tilston has run up a stack after firing his third bullet on the day and he was showing no signs of taking it easy. After making it 9,000 on the button, Andrew Leathem made a three-bet to 34,000 from the big blind. Tilston four-bet shoved all in and Leathem called off his last 189,500.

Andrew Leathem: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Keith Tilston: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}

The flop came {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Tilston was still in the lead although Leathem picked up a straight draw. The turn card brought the {q-Spades} and Leathem grabbed the lead with a pair of queens. The {7-Hearts} paired the board on the river and Leathem scored a big double up.
