From the hijack, Elizabeth Montizanti opened to 24,000 and both the small blind, and Jaime Kaplan called in the big blind.

The flop landed {2-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and both the small blind and Kaplan check to Montizanti who continued for 30,000. The small blind folded, but Kaplan check-raised to 95,000. Montizanti called, and when the turn landed the {3-Hearts}, Kaplan checked the action over to her again.

Montizanti pushed out a stack of orange 5,000-denomination chips for a bet of 100,000, and Kaplan responded with another check-raise; this time amounting to 300,000.

Montizanti announced she was all in for 1,060,000, and Kaplan quickly called having her covered with his 1,151,000 in chips.

Montizanti: {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}
Kaplan: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

In a cruel set-over-set situation for Montizanti, no one-outer would follow on the river as it fell the {Q-Diamonds}, and Montizanti was eliminated from the Main Event while Kaplan soared to nearly 2.5 million in chips.
