The action began with a raise to 1,600 from under-the-gun before Curtis Kowalk raised to 4,000 on the button. The under-the-gun player made the call.
The 5♦4♠7♠ flop led to a bet of 6,000 from the under-the-gun player, which was called by Kowalk.
Action heated up on the 9♣ turn when the under-the-gun player shoved. Kowalk made the call for 27,200 effective to be at risk.
Curtis Kowalk: A♥A♦
Opponent: 6♣6♦
Kowalk had the best of it going into the river, but his opponent was far from drawing dead with a straight draw and outs to a set.
None of them came on the 9♠ river to award Kowalk the double.

A player under the gun got the action going with a limp before the next seat over raised to 1,000. The button chose to respond with a re-raise to 2,000. Zia Wang in the small blind made the call. The limper folded, but the early position player called.
Wang wasted no time getting her chips in the middle as she shoved on the 5♥8♥Q♣ flop. This was enough to get it done as her two remaining opponents folded to drag in the pot.
