In an already large pot to the K♦7♣6♣A♦ turn, Samuel Cheng bet 10,500 and then faced the shove by Rachel Carolan from the next seat.
"Oh fuck," Cheng sighed vividly and then tossed in a single chip for the call moments later.
Rachel Carolan: Q♣Q♥ 
Samuel Cheng: K♣K♥
The A♥ river was only a formality as Carolan departed first on this starting day.

Amanda Decesare limped from under the gun, and Michael Dawson raised to 800 as next to act. Yesha Punjabi called in middle position, as did Nigel Andrews in the small blind. Michael Guttmann also stuck in a call from the big blind, and the 6♣10♣10♠ flop was fanned out.
Andrews checked for Guttmann, who fired a bet of 5,000. Only Punjabi made the call, and Guttmann led out again for 7,000 on the Q♠ turn.
Punjabi called once more, and Guttmann slowed down with a check on the 9♦ river. Punjabi fired 11,000 into the middle, earning a call from Guttmann. Punjabi tabled A♠3♠ for a flush, collecting the chips as Guttmann mucked.
Adit Kumar limped in from an early position for both blinds to come along including Dwain Lindsay and it was the latter who bet the Q♠J♥7♥8♠ turn for 800, only Kumar fold. Lindsay checked the 9♣ on the river and then folded when Kumar bet 2,200.
Keith Gois checked from the hijack after the [As5ch] flop, where Cameron Lawless bet 800 on the button. The call was made, and both players declined to bet the 8♠ turn.
One last check from Gois followed the 6♦ river, and Lawless took a moment before sliding out a bet of 3,500. That was enough to take down the pot, as Gois sent his cards into the muck.
In a single-raised pot to the K♦8♣4♠ flop, Yixiao Wang check-called a bet of 800 while in the small blind against Luke Manifavas in the cutoff. They headed to the Q♠ on the turn when Wang checked again. Manifavas now bet 5,000 and that won the pot.
One hand later, Wang opened to 500 in the last hand before the blinds went up. Nathan O'Malley three-bet to 2,000 in the small blind and Jiahe Liang in the big blind called, Wang folded. O'Malley continued for 5,600 on the A♦J♥6♥ flop before picking up a call. Both then shut down on the Q♥ turn and 10♠ river with two checks and O'Malley won the pot with the A♣A♥ for a set of aces.

Five-way action was down to three on the A♥9♦4♥ flop, where Chris Schumann led out from the small blind for 1,300. Adrian Digirolamo called in middle position before Sasho Andonovski raised to 3,000 in the cutoff. Schumann and Digirolamo called to the 2♦ turn, and both tapped the table.
Andonovski fired a bet of 8,000, with only Schumann coming along to the 7♥ river. Schumann checked again, and Andonovski tossed out 15,000.
Schumann made the call, and Andonovski showed 9♠9♣ for a set of nines. Schumann tabled J♥9♥ for a flush, good enough to take down a healthy pot.
Lance Patison opened to 500 in middle position before Mick Nolton three-bet to 1,600 in the cutoff. Patison made the call, and both players checked through the 6♦K♣2♣ flop.
Another check from Patison followed the 4♥ turn, and Nolton slid out a bet of 1,500. Patison did not take long to let his hand go, and Nolton added chips to his stack.
