Just keeps accumulating

Angel Pedroza opened the pot with an 80,000-chip raise from under the gun. With the action on Lisa Hamilton in the big blind, she bumped it up to 260,000 which prompted a fold from Pedroza.

The next hand, both players were in the blinds, and they saw a flop of {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

fall. Checks came from both players.

When the turn came the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

, Hamilton lead for 125,000 with Pedroza making the call. The river fell the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

and Hamilton splashed the pot with a bet that totalled 350,000.

Pedroza sat in the tank for over two minutes before calling, only to see Hamilton table her {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

for the nuts. Pedroza quickly mucked her hand.

With Pedroza now crippled on only 60,000, Hamilton soars to over 2,200,000 in chips.
