Ema Zajmovic

Ema Zajmovic limped in from the small blind and Kevin Rivest moved all-in from the big blind. Zajmovic snap-called.

Zajmovic was at risk with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, flipping against Rivest's {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

The flop came {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Zajmovic paired her king, but Rivest also flopped a set. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Zajmovic was drawing to the {8-Spades} on the river to give Rivest quads.

The first female to win a World Poker Tour title has hit the rail in 11th place, taking home $16,000 for her deep run today.

Mike Leah
Mike Leah

Mike Leah opened to 4 million with {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} from under-the-gun and got called by Daren Keyes with {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} from middle position, Sean Gomez with {q-Spades}{j-Spades} from late position, and Sebastien Labbe with {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} from the cutoff.

Julian Volpe woke up with {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} in the big blind and three-bet to 9.6 million. Leah then four-bet jammed all-in for 33 million, getting a call from Labbe and Volpe.

The flop was {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Volpe check-folded after Labbe shoved.

Labbe picked up some outs when the {7-Hearts} fell on the turn but the river was the {2-Spades} and Leah raked in a massive pot to triple up.
