Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action began after the flop of 10♠9♦2♥, and Todd Mossburg was all in for 5,000 preflop with three calllers. Under the gun checked while the early position player led out for 10,000. The late position player was the only one to call to see the turn.

The turn came the 8♥ and the last aggressor checked. His opponent fired for 20,000 and he made the the call.

When the river peeled the 2♠, the late position player bet 60,000. His opponent folded for him to win the side and he showed 10♦10♥ for a full house. Mossburg's AxQx was no good, but he seemed excited to make the money with just a single 5,000 chip to his name.
