Trevor Collins moved all in from middle position for 30,000, Candice Roig called from the small blind, and Justin Hall called from the big blind. Any further betting will create a side pot between Roig and Hall.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of 9d5h2c10s, Roig checked, Hall moved all in for about 50,000. Roig thought for a while before she folded.

Collins showed Ac9s for a pair of nines, but he needed to improve to stay alive against Hall’s Js10d for a pair of tens.

The river card was — the As.

Collins paired his ace on the river to win the pot with two pair, aces and nines, to triple up in chips.
