: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Xu Yuan limped in from under the gun, and Esther Riordan raised to 40,000 as next to act. Action folded back around to Yuan, who made the call.
Yuan checked the Q♣7♥6♠ flop, and Riordan continued for 40,000. Yuan then moved all in, and Riordan called off the rest of her stack.
Esther Riordan: K♣K♥
Xu Yuan: Q♥J♥
Riordan revealed her overpair, holding through the 3♦ turn and 4♥ river to earn the early double-up.
