Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The pot stood at around 8,000 with two players looking at a board of 8♣5♣4♠.

The action was caught as Kanchan Sharma, in the big blind, had a bet of 8,000 in front of her. Danny Van Zijp, on the button, had responded with a raise to 15,800. Sharma tanked for some time before making the call.

The A♦ turn saw Sharma play in flow. Van Zijp moved all in for 38,100 and Sharma went deep into the tank. Sharma thought intensely for several minutes before finally making the call.

Danny Van Zijp: 7♠6♠ All in
Kanchan Sharma: K♥8♦

Van Zijp had flopped the nut straight and held on the 9♠ river, earning him the full double up.
