Monika Zukowicz opened to 800 from early position and was three-bet by Steven Touitou to 2,400 in the hijack. The action folded back to Zukowicz who four-bet to 7,200, and Touitou called.

The flop came 5♠J♣Q♠ and Zukowicz continued with a bet of 4,000, which Touitou called.

A 10♦ landed on the turn where Zukowicz counted out another bet and put 8,000 chips into the pot. Touitou took his time before he called.

When the 8♦ completed the board, both players quickly checked it down.

Zukowicz tabled K♠K♥, and Touitou had the winner with A♠A♦.
