Hilberts Takes Big Pot from Pawlowski

Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Thijs Hilberts bet 16,000 from middle position and faced a raise of 42,000 from Kacper Pawlowski on the button.
Both players checked the J?10?6? flop, but Hilberts led out for 24,000 on the turn which was called by Pawlowski.
The 7? completed the board and Hilberts bet 45,000. After nearly a minute of contemplation time Pawlowski made the call. Hilberts tabled 9?8? who picked up a monster draw on the flop, but in the end, made a jack-high straight to take a huge pot.
