Three ways to the flop, Susan Choi in the small blind, a player in middle position and Aleksandr Shevlyakov in the cutoff all invested 5,000 each. The turn was bet for 5,000 by Choi and she earned two calls before checking the on the river. The third player in the hand checked as well and Shevlyakov bet 12,000.

Choi then opted for a check-raise to 57,000 and that forced out the third player in the hand. Without hesitation, Shevlyakov moved all-in for more than 150,000 and Choi tank-folded.
