Jonathan Gilliam opened to 20,000 from the button, Nicholas Verderamo defended his big blind and the dealer spread out 
on the flop.

turn card where Verderamo led out for 25,000 and Gilliam then raised to 80,000. Verderamo called and the 
completed the board.
Verderamo checked to Gilliam, he bet 160,000 and Verderamo called. Gilliam announced king-high and Verderamo instantly tabled 
for a pair of tens.
"How do you call there?" said Gilliam as he mucked his hand, shipping the pot to Verderamo.
