Koper Picks Off Gao's Bluff to Send Him to the Rail

Shouyi Gao raised 18,000 from the button into Katelin Koper's big blind. Koper defended and both players went to a flop of the Q♣9♦5♥.

Koper checked to Gao prompting him to lead out for 12,000. Koper called and both players went to the turn.

Koper checked over to Gao on the A♦ turn. Gao continued for 39,000, but this time Koper decided to raise to 85,000. Gao called.

Slowing down on the 10♥, Koper checked to Gao who shoved all in for a massive bet nearing 200,000. This proved no problem for Koper as she picked off this bet and tabled A♣K♣ for top pair. Gao showed 8♦4♦ for a missed flush draw and was eliminated.
