Naomi Mayor
Naomi Mayor

Three players saw a flop of {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and it checked to Carlos Matos who bet 150,000 into a main pot of 545,000.

Naomi Mayor check-raised all in for 520,000 and Matos re-shoved all in to get a quick fold from Stephen Silverman.

Naomi Mayor: {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Carlos Matos: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The turn {4-Hearts} and river {6-Spades} were no help to Matos and Mayor's ace high was enough to earn her the double up.
