When the 4♠ completed the board, the under-the-gun player jammed for about 30,000 and Ainonkpo snap-callled.

Livello 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Sava Krink had been floating around starting stack for most of the day, but put herself at risk preflop after the player in the big blind got their chips in the middle.

Sava Krink: A♥K♣
Opponent: A♦Q♠

Krink was ahead with big slick, but it remained a sweat when the flop came, 8♥7♦J♣. The K♦ made it so her opponent could no longer catch a queen to pull ahead but she still had to dodge a ten, as that would make her opponent the Broadway straight.

The river was clean for Krink, as the 6♣ peeled off, awarding her a full double up with her pair of kings.
