"93THOR" raised to 6,000 from under the gun and Patricia Poli three-bet to 15,000 from the big blind.
The flop came K♣2♠9♠ and Poli continued with a bet of 17,000, which 93THOR called. On the J♥ turn, Poli led with a bet of 36,000 and 93THOR called.
The river came the 8♣ and Poli bet a third street, this time for 80,000. 93THOR pushed all in for around 180,000 and Poli quickly called. 93THOR had 9♥8♥ for two pair, but Poli flipped over K♥K♣ for a set of kings. She won the pot and 93THOR was sent to the rail as one of the first to exit on Day 2.
At a similar time, "Jon" was also sent to the exit.
