The action folded around to Ron Licari in the cutoff position and he raised to 145,000. Susan Smith (Misfits Poker LV) called from the small blind and the big blind moved all in for 715,000. After giving it some thought Smith made the call putting her opponent at risk and the hands were shown.

Susan Smith: Kh9h

The dealer fanned the Ah8d4h flop and the big blind paired his ace while Smith picked up the nut flush draw. The Qh turn improved Smith to the nut flush leaving her opponent drawing dead. The meaningless 7s completed the board and Smith earned the knockout extending her chip lead in the process.
