Laura Fryer

The 2♥ was turned and Baxter moved all in for around 16,500. The big blind called and the players flipped their cards.

Jennifer Baxter:K♥J♣ All in
Big Blind: Q♥J♥

The big blind was sitting with a queen high flush, and Baxter was looking for another heart.

The 7♥ brought Baxter the heart to secure them the pot with the king high flush.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The mood at the table was upbeat. Encouraged by her husband Mateusz Moolhuizen, who made her recite their common mantra, "I love money, and money loves me," Dehlia De Jong approached the next hand in high spirits, knowing she needed a double up.

Lexy Gavin-Mather initiated the action with a raise to 2,000 from the hijack, prompting De Jong to go all in on the button with her last 9,000. Gavin-Mather called, and it went to showdown.

Dehlia De Jong: A♥Q♣
Lexy Gavin-Mather: A♦10♣

The board ran out 6♥3♥A♣Q♥10♦, giving both players two pair, but De Jong's hand was better, allowing her to double up.

Tina Dubowy:A♦8♦ All in
Loni Hui: A♣A♥

The flop came 2♦8♣3♣ and the 3♦ gave Dubowy some chances as she picked up a diamond draw and outs for a boat.

Despite Dubowy having, "so many outs on the river," according to a comment made from another player at the table, Dubowy was sent to the rail after seeing the 7♣ river.
