Corey Wade raised to 350,000 from the cutoff and was called by Robert Tanita on the button.
The flop came out and both players checked through to the turn of that saw Wade check and Tanita bet 500,000 which Wade called.
The river saw Wade check again and Tanita sized a bet up to 2,075,000 sending Wade into the tank. After some time he put in the call and Tanita said "you're good," before briefly flashing for a missed low draw. Wade triumphantly turned over for aces and threes and took a massive chunk out of Tanita's chip lead.

In the mid 1980’s, women were considered no factor in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and other than the famous rounder and professional gambler Thomas “Amarillo Slim” Preston, poker players rarely made headlines in the mainstream press. That all changed when Wendeen Eolis became the first woman to cash at poker’s “Big Dance.”
In the 1986 WSOP Main Event, Eolis battled some of the best players in the world, including Amarillo Slim, in a field of 141 runners. She was on her way to a 25th-place finish for a $10,000, return on her buy-in, and permanent bragging rights as the first woman in history to cash in the WSOP Main Event.
Eolis attributes her 1986 WSOP performance to a year of poker tutoring from one of the best, a “relatively” conservative game plan, and cooperative cards. She told PokerNews, “Even today, women can win more by bluffing less than men.”
Jared Jaffee raised to 450,000 in the cutoff and on the button, Jacob Ferro called with all other players folding.
The flop of saw Jaffee bet the pot and Ferro folded after some time.
Jaffee collected the pot as both of the shortest stacks battled it out at the table.

Action was caught on the turn of board.
Corey Wade checked from the big blind and Robert Tanita bet 300,000. Action is back on Wade and it took his time, before announcing a raise to 1,100,000. Tanita snap announced "pot".
The dealer made the count, it was more than five millions, which meant Tanita put Wade at risk.
"Snap pot ?!" asked Wade rather surprised. He thought about it, then folded. Tanita is back again on top.
