A player in middle position opened to 1,000 and Ricky Guan three-bet to 9,000, the majority of his stack, from late position. Kitty Kuo made the call out of the small blind only to see the middle position player four-bet jam for 29,800. Guan called all in for 2,700 more and Kuo called to put both opponents at risk.

Middle Position: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Ricky Guan: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Kitty Kuo: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Guan made a full house to triple up. Kuo was also forced to pay the balance of the middle position player's stack to the tune of 18,100 leaving herself with just five big blinds.
