Following a cutoff open to 2,700, Lily Kiletto calls on the button. David Jackson then three-bets to 13,000 from the small blind which sheds the original raiser, but Kiletto calls.

The flop comes Diamond 7Diamond 2Spade 2 and Jackson bets 20,000 which Kiletto calls.

Things spice up on the turn as with now over 62,000 in the pot and the Heart J on the board next to the flop, Jackson moves all in for about 55,000.

Kiletto goes deep into the tank as reporters and photographers gather around the table to witness the outcome of this sizable pot.

“He’s always bluffing me,” says Kiletto as she continues her deliberation.

A couple of minutes pass with a potential call and loss costing Kiletto roughly half of her stack in total.

Finally, while repeating “Please have ace-high, please have ace-high, please have ace-high” Kiletto makes the call and gets her wish.

Kiletto’s sevens and deuces are good as she breathes a sigh of relief, but there’s still one card to come.

The dealer splashes the Diamond A on the river giving Jackson a tournament life saving pair of aces to survive and deliver a cruel beat to Kiletto.

David Jackson – 190,000 (158 bb)
Lily Kiletto – 129,000 (107 bb)
