Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Katerina Lukina raised under the gun to 80,000 and Diana Shamshoum called next to her, before Shiina Okamoto three-bet to 280,000 on the button. Only Shamshoum called.

The flop gave 5♥K♦5♠ and Shamshoum check-raised to 350,000 Okamoto's continuation of 150,000. The latter called.

The turn was the 10♠ and Shamshoum bet 300,000, which Okamoto called.

The 2♠ completed the board. Shamshoum bet 200,000, and Okamoto moved all in. Shamshoum asked for a count, and when the dealer confirmed it was 510,000, she folded, mistakenly thinking she needed to call the full 510,000 rather than 310,000 more. After the hand, Shamshoum said she would have called if she’d realized the correct amount.
