The player under the gun opened up with a raise to 24,000 and Katrina Weaver made the call from middle position. Action folded around to a three-bet shove from Alex Mazzola in the big blind for 110,000.

The player under the gun called and Weaver tanked before finally folding. Mazzola turned over {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and his opponent showed {10-}{10-}.

The board ran out {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Mazzola's aces and nines secured a crucial double up.
