With a raise from a player in middle position and a couple of calls, Kitty Kuo saw an opportunity to squeeze by three-betting all in. Only the original raiser made the call, and he showed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Kuo held {j-Hearts}{k-Clubs}.

The flop gave Kuo plenty of draws when the dealer spread out {4-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{a-Hearts}. She needed a king or jack for a higher pair, a 10 for a straight, or a heart for a better flush. The {5-Spades} on the turn wasn't any of those things, but the {5-Hearts} on the river gave both players a flush. Kuo's higher heart-card gave her the pot and the double up.
