Oluwashola Akindele, under the gun, moved all in for a total of 600. A player called from one seat over along with the player in the cutoff and the small blind.

A flop of {4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} was dealt and was checked through the {6-Spades} turn. Once again, it was checked around.

The dealer completed the board with the {10-Hearts} and Akindele's opponents checked for a third time.

Akindele tabled {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for trips and her opponents sent their hands to the muck.
