Jeffrey Urbanovsky limped from UTG+1 before Li Zi Zhou raised to 10,000 in the hijack. Kenneth Shapiro called on the button and Brittany Rivas defended her big blind and Urbanovsky called from UTG+1 closing the action.

The flop delivered 9♥3♥2♦ to the players and it quickly checked around.

The 5♠ fell on the turn and action was held up with Rivas in the big blind. She ultimately stacked up all of her chips and pushed them forward for a 68,500 jam. Urbanovsky took a few seconds to think things over but did cut out calling chips and place them in the middle. His call quickly folded out the hijack and button.

Rivas tabled A♠9♣ for top pair top kicker. Urbanovsky quickly asked the dealer for another 5 as he tabled K♦5♦. The 4♥ on the river secured the pot for Rivas.

Players had maybe one or two hands left before their next break. Players will return to blinds of 3,000/6,000/6,000.

Brittany Rivas 185,000
