Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player from early position raised to 500 and was flatted by Irene Carey in middle position. Action folded to the player in the cutoff, who three-bet to 2,000. The initial raiser called, but Carey then back-raised all in for about 19,000 total. The three-bettor called all-in for a bit less than 10,000 and the other player folded.

Carey:
Cutoff:

Carey had her opponent dominated and increased her lead even more on the flop.

However, the turn and river would give Carey's opponent a runner-runner flush to double through her.

Carey was knocked down to 9,600 after the hand.
