Liz Lieu Sent to the Rail

We pick up the action on the turn, with Liz Lieu involved in a big pot. The board shows {K-Spades} {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} and the {5-Hearts} hits on fourth street.

Lieu checks over to her lone opponent, who makes a bet of 600. Lieu makes the call.

The river pairs the board, {Q-Diamonds}, and Lieu checks again. The other player bets out 1,100, and Lieu check-raises all in. She is quickly called by her opponent, who shows {A-?} {A-?}, making aces full of queens.

Lieu flashes her unknown cards to another player who laments, "Nothing you can do." Lieu has been eliminated just after our break.
