Thanh Ngo's Hand Holds Up

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Thanh Ngo from Roman Casino in Seattle picked up a pot of over 20k when her {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} held up against the button's pocket tens and the small blind's pocket kings. All in action started when the small blind pushed all in for 3,450 after a raise pre-flop. Ngo then re-raised all in for 8,125. The button tanked for about three minutes before finally calling.

The board ran {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}.

Small Blind: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Button: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Ngo: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
