Action folds around to the small blind Takayuki Koga and he limps in. Big blind Thi Bao An Nguyen defends with a raise of 3300, Koga re-raises 8500, Nguyen calls. 

When the flop comes Club 3Spade QHeart Q, more chips go flying. Koga bets 4000, Nguyen raises 9000, Koga makes it 20,000, Nguyen calls. 

On the turn Spade 8, Koga shoves, Nguyen calls, and upon revealing, Koga has Spade 3Diamond 3 full house ahead of Nguyen’s Spade AClub Q trips. When the river lands Club 8, Nguyen can’t believe her luck as she spikes the higher full house to eliminate Koga. 

Thi Bao An Nguyen – 104,000 (130 bb)
Takayuki Koga – Eliminated
