It's All OK For Okonczak

Level 27 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Jesse Okonczak
Jesse Okonczak

From the button, Jesse Okonczak opened to 65,000, and Austin Buchanan called from the big blind to go heads up.

The flop came {J-Spades} {Q-Spades} {5-Hearts}, and Buchanan checked to the raiser. When Okonczak continued out wiht 75,000 chips, however, he snuck in a check-raise to 225,000. The response from Okonczak? All in for 725,000 total. Buchanan was on a big draw, and he made the call with the covering stack and {10-Spades} {8-Spades}. Ryan Lenaghan said he folded {7-Spades} {9-Spades}, stealing a couple outs from Buchanan.

The turn came the {3-Clubs}, and that kept Okonczak's kings safe. The river {7-Hearts} was a blank as well, and the pocket kings give him a big double up to 1.62 million. He's moved just ahead of Buchanan's 1.48 million and up into second place with that pot.
