The button turned up with , and Zarin, who held , needed a lot of help from the deck in order to win the pot. The board ran out to give him Broadway, so he took the pot to stack his opponent.

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

Action folded around to Molly Mossey in the hijack and she raised to 800. The cutoff three-bet jammed for what looked like about 5,500, the button and blinds got out of the way, and after brief consideration, Mossey called to put the cutoff at risk.

Molly Mossey:
Cutoff:

The two players were racing and Mossey needed to improve to win. She paired her ace on the flop to take the lead, the turn and river changed nothing, so Mossey took the pot to stack her opponent.
