Trishelle Cannatella opened to 800 under the gun and got two callers in Quyen Hoang to her immediate left and Miranda Fullenbach in the big blind.
The trio saw the flop drop 9♠Q♣10♠ and checked. Cannatella went for a bet on the turn 3♠ after action was passed to her. Hoang called, but Fullenbach got out of the way.
On the river 9♣, Cannatella continued the pressure with a 4,000 bet, sending Hoang to the tank. Hoang went into deep thought, separating the 4,000 chips and shuffling it. She finally let go of her hand and put the chips back to her stack.
The dealer pushed the pot towards Cannatella as others wondered what her hole cards were.
