After the player in the hijack limped, Minh Nguyen put in a raise in the small blind, and Dusti Smith three-bet jammed for just over 20 big blinds in the big blind. The hijack folded and Nguyen called with the covering stack.
Dusti Smith: A♣J♠
Minh Nguyen: A♦Q♦
Smith pulled ahead on the J♦4♥3♣ flop, pairing her jack. However, Nguyen retook the lead on the Q♣ turn, pairing his queen. The K♦ river offered no help to Smith, and she was sent to the rail.
