Matthew Waxman min-raised from the button to 30,000, and Nohad Teliani called from the big blind.

The flop came QcJc2s, Teliani bet 40,000, and Waxman called.

The turn card was the 3s, and Teliani moved all in for 205,000. Waxman tanked for a long time before he called with KsJh for a pair of jacks.

But Teliani turned over Qh5h for a pair of queens, and she needed her hand to hold to stay alive.

The river card was the Ad, and Teliani won the pot with her pair of queens to double up in chips.

Nohad Teliani  –  570,000  (38 bb)
Matthew Waxman  –  390,000  (26 bb)

With five players remaining, the average chip stack is about 455,000 (30 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $2,455 each.
