Hilton Shove Causes Cordero Fold

In the second hand after the break, Jonathan Hilton raised to 130,000 from the small blind, and Alex Cordero called from the big blind. The flop came {2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and Hilton led with a bet of 125,000. Cordero looked at what Hilton had behind — a little less than 900,000 — and raised to 350,000. Hilton paused just a beat, then pushed all in for 1.08 million total.

Cordero took his time, carving out the calling chips, then counting out what was left over (about 720,000). After about three minutes, he finally tossed his hand away.
