Phil Hui raised under the gun to 2,200, Cherish Andrews moved all in from the cutoff for 13,100, and Hui called with KcQs. Andrews turned over AcQh, and needed her hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Jh8h2d8c2c, and Andrews won the pot with the two pair on the board and her ace kicker to double up in chips.

Cherish Andrews  –  28,700  (29 bb)
