On the board of K♥A♠A♥A♣Q♥, Sau Sung shoved all-in for around 21,000 to be snap-called by Delacerra, who was covered. Sung showed A♦J♠ for quads on the turn. But Delacerra tabled J♥10♥ for a royal flush to win the pot.
Linda Durden and Krystal Harris, both in middle position, limped the pot. Brittany Spain, in the hijack, raised to 1,000 and got called by Rachel Frederick in the cutoff. Both Durden and Harris also tagged along to see the flop.
The flop came A♥10♠J♦ and everyone checked. On the turn 5♥, after action was passed to her, Harris bet 1,500 and got one caller in Frederick.
Harris check-called the river 10♥ after Frederick fired 3,200. Frederick showed K♥9♥ for a flush prompting Harris to throw her hand in the muck pile.
Caitlin Comeskey opened to 500 under the gun and Paulina Loeliger three-bet to 1,500. Jean Julian in the big blind called while Comeskey folded leaving the remaining two to see the flop.
The flop came 6♣7♠5♦. Julian checked then Loeliger asked how much she had behind. Misunderstanding the question, Julian, holding her hole cards, turned her wrist to show one card, which Comeskey immediately covered with her hand.
Loeliger bet 1,000 and Julian responded with an all-in shove for 6,000. Loeliger called taking them to showdown.
Jean Julian: J♣J♥ 
Paulina Loeliger: A♣K♣
Julian was ahead with jacks and Loeliger was left to hope for one of her over cards to hit the board. The turn K♥ dropped giving Loeliger the higher pair. The 8♣ river was dealt with no consequence. Julian left the table as Loeliger scooped the pot.
