Anne Bui shoved in early position for 110,000 and Alice Sicconi called from the small blind.
Anne Bui: A♥K♦
Alice Sicconi: Q♥Q♠
An ace hit the turn and Bui doubled up, leaving Sicconi with a shortstack.
Jessica Davis raised all in for 45,000 from late position and Mesha James looked down at two red aces and made the call.
Jessica Davis: 9♣10♣
Mesha James: A♦A♥
The board was 10♥K♠A♣2♠8♠ and the set of aces of James took the pot.
At the same table Marguerite Spagnuolo just survived her first double up after a previous hand had devastated her chip stack.
In a heads-up pops with more than 45,000 already in the middle, the board showed Q♥6♦8♥2♦ when Laura Westfall checked in the big blind to Samantha Abernathy under the gun who bet 25,000. Westfall tanked and raised it to 55,000, which Abernathy called.
The 3♣ completed the board and Westfall looked at Abernathy's remaining stack and tossed a pile of 5,000-chip in front of her, putting Abernathy at risk. The latter took a minuet and eventually called for her last 75,000.
Westfall tabled A♥10♣ for ace-high and the pot was shipped to Abernathy who showed A♣Q♣ for top pair.
As told by the players:
The unknown player under the gun raised to 16,000. Talia Fligelman was the next player to act and three-bet to 40,000. The player under the gun four-bet to 130,000 and Fligelman five-bet all in for effective 400,000. The player under the gun called.
Under the gun Player: KxKx
Talia Fligelman: AxAx
The flop came out QxJx7xAx2x and Fligelman's set of aces sent the player to the rail and won her a boatload of chips.
