The hijack opened to 3,800. Robbi Jade Lew on the button, called, and the player under the gun went all in for 23,100.

The hijack got out of the way and Lew began thinking.

"Have I got you covered?", she asked. Once it was established that she had, Lew made the call.

Under the Gun: Q♠Q♦
Robbie Jade Lew: A♣K♥

The board ran out 8♣2♠3♦A♠A♥ and Lew's opponent hit the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A player under the gun raised to 2,000, the button called and Shunsuke Tokoo three-bet to 8,000 from the small blind. Only the original raiser continued.

The flop of 6♥7♠7♦ saw a continuation of 4,500 from Tokoo. His opponent raised to 12,000 and Tokoo called.

The 7♣ turn saw Tokoo check-raise a bet of 16,000 from his opponent as he shoved all in for 36,900.

The opponent eventually folded, and Tokoo comically exhaled in relief as he tabled A♥K♦ for just ace-high.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A player in early position limped in, as did the player to their left. The cutoff raised to 2,000 and Hyunsup Kim called out of the small blind, the big blind and both remaining players followed suit.

Five-ways to a flop of 6♣2♦7♥, the action checked through to the 4♠ on the turn. Kim now took the lead for 3,500; the big blind and a player in early position were the only callers.

The J♦ on the river saw Kim check and the big blind take the lead for 14,300. The player in early position folded and Kim called.

Big Blind: 10♠8♠
Hyunsup Kim: 5♠4♠

Kim's hero call with fourth pair won him this pot.

Hyunsup Kim	74,000 74,000	74,000
