Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Tsz Liu open-shoved all-in in cutoff and got called by Heather Alcorn in the big blind with a chance to eliminate Liu.

Tsz Liu: A♣8♦ All in
Heather Alcorn: A♦K♦

The moment Alcorn called, Liu stood up saying that Alcorn got her. The flop came 4♣10♦9♥ maintaining Alcorn's lead.

The turn J♦ gave Liu a straight draw that gave Alcorn a sweat. When the 7♦ fell, Alcorn said, "Oh no," as Liu got herself a straight. But then the table pointed out that she had a flush and won the pot. With a sigh of relief, Alcorn sat back as the dealer pushed the chips her way.

As Liu was leaving, Elisa Nakagawa, who was on the table thanked Alcorn for making her reach the soft final table.
