Involved with Senovio Ramirez and Thang Luu, Reslock bet on a flop of {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

. Senovio raised and everyone went to the turn, which brought the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

. Senovio bet again and the river brought the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

.

This time, Reslock bet and Luu raised. When all the bets were in, Senovio turned over {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

for top set while Luu tabled {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

for a wheel.

Reslock showed ace jack for two pair and said she misread her hand, thinking she held king queen for broadway.

Reslock fell to 160,000 while Luu climbed to 260,000 and Senovio has 270,000.
