The action was picked up on a board of 6♦J♦7♥8♠ with roughly 450,000 in the pot. Last year's WSOP Ladies event Shiina Okamoto checked the turn from middle position, Laith Edris in the hijack bet 125,000 and Okamoto called.
The A♥ river was checked by Okamoto, who went deep into the tank after Edris jammed for approximately 175,000.
Okamoto eventually made the call, but immediately sent her cards into the muck when Edris flipped over A♠A♦ for a set. She was slightly covered, so she was eliminated.
