Natalia Rozova opened with a raise to 33,000 in early position. Qi Shen called in middle position, Robert Sutherland called in the hijack and Blake Lockwood called in the big blind.

On the {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop, action checked to Rozova who continued with a bet of 75,000. Shen folded but Sutherland called. Lockwood then moved all in for about 70,000 more. Both Rozova and Sutherland called.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and Rozova checked. Sutherland put out a bet of 225,000 and Rozova folded quickly, claiming she had pocket aces.

Robert Sutherland: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Blake Lockwood: {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The river was the {8-Hearts} and that would be the end of Lockwood who was eliminated in 13th place.

Sutherland is now the overwhelming chip leader and is pushing towards 1 million chips quickly.
