Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Chastity Askvig raised to 10,000 in middle position and the player in the big blind defended.

The flop came 4♥7♣K♣, the big blind led out for 15,000 and Askvig called.

On the 2♥ turn, the big blind bet 25,000 and Askvig moved all in for 31,000 total to put herself at risk. The big blind reluctantly tossed in the call.

Chastity Askvig: 2♦2♠ All in
Big blind: A♦6♦

Askvig had her opponent drawing dead and the meaningless 8♥ rolled off on the river to complete the board.
