Kate Hoang was in the cutoff and raised to 1,200. Erik Seidel was on the button and three-bet to 1,800. The small blind called, as did Hoang.

The flop was {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and action checked to Seidel. He bet 600 and was called by both opponents.

The turn was the {q-Clubs} and again action checked to Seidel. He bet 1,200 and got two calls.

The river was the {10-Clubs} and action checked around.

Seat 2 showed {a-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and Hoang tabled {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Seidel's hand went into the muck and Hoang won the pot with two pairs.

Kate Hoang was the runner-up in last year's $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo Split 8 or Better (Event #64) at the WSOP for a cash of $182,281. Watch for her throughout the day.
