Andrews bet 5,000 on the flop of {6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and her opponent called. Andrews sized up to 10,000 on the {7-Clubs} turn and her opponent again called.

Andrews checked on the {a-Spades} river and her opponent quickly put out a bet of 17,000. Andrews took about a minute and called.

The opponent tabled {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for a missed straight draw and just nine-high, while Andrews showed {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} to win the pot with kings and sevens.
