Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Ronit Chamani on Day 2 of the Borgata Winter Poker Open Six-Max Event

Joey Couden moved his last 140,000 or so into the middle with three-bet jam, coming over the top of Ronit Chamani's standard opening raise.

Holding and sitting with about 170,000 left, Chamani made the call and found herself flipping against Couden's .

The two headed to the flop with a nearly equal chance of taking the pot down, and it was a classic race situation with Couden's pair trying to dodge Chamani's overcards.

Flop:

Both players hit the high-card flop hard, as Chamani found top two pair, but it was Couden who surged into the lead with a set of jacks.

Turn:

River:

In the flash of fourth and fifth street, Couden's full house went from a monster to a mouse, and now it was Chamani who held the best hand with a boat. Couden waited for the stacks to be counted down, and when he discovered it was all over he leaned in to congratulate Chamani, filling her in on his hole cards from a previous hand between the two.
