Fred Goldberg limped from the button for 15,000, Andrew Ostapchenko completed the small blind, and Sun Choi checked her option in the big blind.

The flop came KdJd7d, and it checked to Goldberg, who bet 15,000. Ostapchenko folded, and Choi called all in for 10,000 with 6d5h for a six-high flush draw. Goldberg turned over Qh4h for queen high, and Choi needed to improve to stay alive.

The turn card was the 5s, the river card was the 3h, and Choi won the pot with a pair of fives to double up in chips.

Sun Choi  –  80,000  (5 bb)
Fred Goldberg  –  1,435,000  (96 bb)

A few hands later, Choi got it all in from the big blind for 55,000 with Kh8h against the Qc4h of Andrew Ostapchenko in the small blind.

The board came 6d5h3dJc10h, and Choi won the pot with her king to double up in chips.

Sun Choi  –  125,000  (8 bb)
Andrew Ostapchenkoy  –  700,000  (47 bb)

The next hand, Fred Goldberg raised from the cutoff to 40,000, Sun Choi moved all in from the small blind for 125,000, and Goldberg called with 10s8s.

Choi turned over 6d6c, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came Jc6h2d2c3d, and Choi flopped a set of sixes and turned a full house to win the pot and double up again.

Sun Choi  –  280,000  (19 bb)
Fred Goldberg  –  1,275,000  (85 bb)
