Hannah Chang, opened the action from middle position to 4,500 at 1,000/2,000/2,000. Maria Alvarez flatted the button and Jake “Diesel” Hartman defended his big blind. The three players saw a flop with 16,500 in the middle.

The flop was A ♣ ♣ A ♣ J ♦ ♦ J ♦ J ♠ ♠ J ♠

Jake checked, Hannah followed suit, and Maria took a small stab at the pot for 6,000. Both Diesel and Maria both called, and the pot grew to 34,500.

Turn T ♣ ♣ T ♣

Hannah and Diesel checked to Maria on the button and she bet 22,000. Diesel check-raised all-in for 80,000. Hannah quickly folded, and after a brief count Maria called the all-in.

Maria held top pair and the nut flush draw against Diesel’s trip jacks with a Broadway redraw. The river bricked, and Hartman’s trips held up to drag a monster pot of 194,500. Diesel is now second in chips with twenty-five players remaining, while Maria is down to twenty big blinds. Hannah remains in the middle of the pack, and dangerous as she has won a number of events on the ExPT already this year.
