Kitty Kuo raised to 2,300 from under the gun and was called by the hijack and the defending champion, Christopher Brammer in the big blind.
The flop came 
and both Brammer and Kuo checked. The hijack bet 5,000 and only Kuo called.
The turn brought them the 
and Kuo check-folded to the 10,000 continuation-bet of her opponent.
Two hands later, the player in late position raised to 2,000 and Jeremy Ausmus shoved from the hijack. Action folded to Kuo in the small blind who also shoved with the bigger stack. The initial raiser folded.
Jeremy Ausmus: 
Kitty Kuo: 
The board ran out
