Kuo Doesn't Have Much Of a Sweat on the Way to a Double
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Kitty Kuo raised to 16,000 under the gun and Andre Abreu three-bet to 45,000 in the hijack. "Sorry, guys, 15K is a lot of money for a mom," Kuo said as she used up a few of her time banks awaiting the announcement of one more bustout. Tournament officials finally announced "payout" and Kuo moved all in for 210,000. Abreu snap-called.
Kitty Kuo: A♦A♥ 
Andre Abreu: A♣K♠
"I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to slowroll you. I was really waiting for the pay jump," Kuo told Abreu after she turned over aces. The board ran out 9♣Q♠3♦4♦9♥ and Kuo doubled up.
