Ngo Doubles Through Tumbas
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
On a board of 10♥3♦9♣, John Tumbas put all of his 27,000 chips across the betting line from under the gun, with Thanh Ngo calling for her last 22,000 from the cutoff. After Steven Nguyenpha folded the big blind, the cards were revealed.
Thanh Ngo: J♠10♠ 
John Tumbas: A♥K♠
Ngo was ahead with top pair and just had to fade Tumbas' overcards to survive. The 10♣ turn gave Ngo trips, guaranteeing she would double-up. The 7♠ hit the river, and the majority of Tumbas' stack was sent over to Ngo.
