Kitty Kuo is heading to "enjoy wine and get drunk" after her elimination from the Aussie Millions Main Event.
According to her social media, after a player in the hijack opened she three-bet to 4,500 with KxKx and her opponent called.
The turn was the 8♠ and she bet 8,000. Her opponent raised to 17,000 and Kuo called. The river was the 5x and Kuo checked.
Her opponent bet 17,000 and Kuo eventually called, only to see her opponent had rivered a flush with A♠Q♠.
On the very next hand, Kuo opened QxQx from the cutoff and another player, apparently on his very first hand, three-bet to 2,800.
Kuo four-bet to 8,000 and her opponent shoved. She called for her last 27,000.
Kitty Kuo: QxQx 
Opponent: AxKx
Kuo didn't see what the board was, just that the river was an Ax sending her to the rail.
"My dream is over," she said. "It's the second-best 10k Main Event, and I have to wait until next year because it's a freezeout.
"I had a great time here and now it's time to enjoy wine and get drunk."

The turn was a 7x and Andreadis continued for 16,000. Kozlov called again.
The river was a 9x and Andreadis moved all in, covering Kozlov.
Kozlov tank-called with AxKx but was no good against the rivered full house of Andreadis who held A♣9♣
