With the board showing Spade KClub 10Spade 7Club 6 on the turn and about 260K already in the pot, Michael Morton (pictured) bets 160,000 from the small blind.

Two-time WPT champion Brian Altman thinks for a while before he moves all in from the big blind, and Morton snap-calls with Diamond KSpade 10 for top two pair. Altman turns over Club AClub 8 for a club flush draw with a gutshot straight draw, and Morton needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The river card pairs the board with the Heart K, and Morton wins the pot with a full house, kings full of tens, to double up in chips.

Michael Morton  –  1,100,000  (110 bb)
Brian Altman  –  1,485,000  (149 bb)
