Action was three-way to the 5♠8♦Q♣ flop, where Marle Spragg checked from the small blind and Thomas Dean followed suit in the big blind.
Daniel Marcus fired a bet of 800 in middle position before Spragg check-raised to 2,000. Dean then announced a three-bet to 4,500.
Marcus folded, with Spragg not taking long to slide her cards to the dealer as Dean picked up the pot.
Kayvon Shahbaz raised to 1,500 in middle position and John Sitton moved all in for 8,900 in the hijack. Jen Shahade then reraised to 20,500 in the big blind and Shahbaz got out of the way.
John Sitton: 9♥9♠ 
Jen Shahade: 10♥10♦
Shahade had Sitton dominated with her tens and stayed in front through the 4♣2♦2♣Q♥8♥ board to send her opponent to the rail.
