Tilston Doubles on Rivered Two-Outer

Level 10 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

From the hijack, Doug Polk opened to 27,000 and Keith Tilston moved all in from the button for his final 205,000. The blinds folded and Polk immediately called.

Polk: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Tilston: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop thrust Polk into the lead and, when the {4-Clubs} arrived on the turn, Tilston would need to spike one of the final two nines in the deck to stay alive.

The dealer burned and turned the {9-Diamonds} on the river to see Tilston strike gold with his two-outer to stay alive in this tournament with over 440,000 in chips as Polk dropped to 1.5 million.
