With nearly 300,000 in the middle on a flop of J♥10♠Q♦, Danielle Andersen bet 160,000 from the cutoff and Daniel Chan called in the hijack.
The turn was the J♣ and Andersen bet another 325,000. Chan only considered the decision for a few seconds before folding as Andersen took the pot.
Derek Schroeder shoved for 135,000 from early position and got called by both Yiannis Liperis & Toby Gibson before Gustavo Kamei shoved from the cutoff for 690,000. Liperis and Gibson both got out of the way, which left Schroeder a chance to more than quadruple up.
