See-Saw Suddenly Slides in Favour of Trotman

After literally half an hour of mainly flopless small pots, a couple of interesting hands come along at once, like buses. The first saw them get to the turn (7s-6d-5c-7h) as Luke Trotman called a Martin Silke bet on the flop, but he gave up when Martin bet 470k on the turn.

Next, Trotman raised to 190k pre, called by Silke. They both checked the 3d-3s-5h flop. Silke checked the Qc turn, but instantly called when Trotman bet 300k. On the Jh river, Silke now led for 420k. Into the tank for Trotman. Eventually he made the call - and Silke didn't really want to turn his hand over. Made to by the dealer, his A-4 was well behind Trotman's Ad-Jd, but I wonder what would have happened without the Jack on the river.

Just 1.5 mil for Silke now, double that for Trotman.
