A-Millie, A-Millie, A-Millie

No-Limit Hold'em:

Millie Shiu had her tournament life on the line against Al Anderson as she was all in preflop. Shiu held {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} and Anderson held big slick, {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}.

The flop didn't contain an ace for Anderson when it came {Q-Spades} {9-Hearts} {2-Hearts}. The turn came the {J-Hearts} and gave both players a straight draw with Anderson drawing to the nuts. Shiu did have a blocker with the king of hearts for the flush draw.

The river came the great card for Shiu, the {5-Spades}, and enabled her to double up to 21,000. Anderson was knocked down to 10,000.
