Tracey Nguyen raises from under the gun to 2,400 and is called by a player in early position and the hijack. The flop comes {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {7-Spades} and Nguyen leads out for 5,500. The player in early position folds and the hijack calls. The turn is the {10-Clubs} and Tracey Nguyen check raises all in after a 10,000 bet from her opponent.

Her opponent makes the call and shows {10-Hearts} {10-Spades} for a set. Nguyen has {A-Spades} {J-Spades} and can only hope for a chop if an eight falls on the river for a chop.

The {3-Diamonds} comes instead and Nguyen is crippled to 3,600.
