Level 8
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Teeraphat Rangkatekarn open-raised to 12,000 in early position, and Thi Xoa Nguyen called in the cutoff. Lili Tang then defended her big blind, and the trio headed to the K♥8♠J♥ flop.
It checked to Nguyen, who placed a bet of 25,000. Tang and Rangkatekarn both called to the 6♣ turn, where Nguyen sized up to 105,000. Tang still called, but Rangkatekarn had seen enough and mucked.
Lili checked a third time on the 2♦ river, seeing Nguyen complete her triple barrel with a bet of 180,000. Lili called to showdown, where Nguyen revealed A♥A♣.
However, her aces were no longer good, as Tang had rivered two pair with K♣2♣ and thus raked in the pot worth around 100 big blinds.
