The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and Rozova checked. Sutherland put out a bet of 225,000 and Rozova folded quickly, claiming she had pocket aces.

Robert Sutherland: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Blake Lockwood: {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The river was the {8-Hearts} and that would be the end of Lockwood who was eliminated in 13th place.
