Karam Finds Aces at the Perfect Time
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Luke Marsh raised to 5,000 from the cutoff before Hala Karam three-bet to 15,000 out of the small blind. Marsh called to see a flop.
Karam continued with a bet of 15,000 on the 3♥10♥10♦ flop. Marsh raised to roughly 30,000, and Karam instantly shoved for 80,000. Marsh somewhat reluctantly called, and Karam asked: "You have the ten?". Marsh responded with "no" as the cards were flipped over.
Hala Karam: A♣A♥ 
Luke Marsh: Q♠Q♥
Karam was far ahead with her pocket Rockets and just had to avoid a queen to double up. The rest of the board ran out 5♦10♠, and Karam doubled up at Marsh's expense.
