Lu Doubles, Son Eliminates Gollins
Yunye Lu open-shoved for 14,500,000 from late position and got Christina Gollins to go all in for 16,500,000 from cutoff. The remaining players got out of the way, leaving the two to head to showdown.
Yunye Lu: A♥9♥
Christina Gollins: J♥J♣
The flop came K♦A♠10♣, pushing Lu into the lead. Lu could almost taste victory when the A♦ fell on the turn. The K♣ river secured his double up, leaving Gollins with only 2,000,000, not enough for even a big blind.
On the very next hand, Gollins open-shoved with her remaining chips from the hijack. Cutoff Jaehwa Son raised to 6,500,000 pushing all remaining players out of the hand.
Christina Gollins: K♠8♦
Jaehwa Son: Q♣Q♦
Gollins started her preparations to leave when the hands were tabled expecting the worse. The board ran 10♦10♣J♠J♥5♥ and, with no king to be seen, Gollins headed to the payout counter to claim her prize.
