Marsha Wolak (Fort Lauderdale, FL) turns a pocket 2s into the chip lead as she’s up to 80k.

Wolak calls an UTG raise from Gabriel Tudorache (Reddick, FL) in the SB and the BB comes along.

The flop is K-3-2, Tudorache leads, Wolak raises, the BB calls and Tudorache folds.

The turn is a 9 that puts a flush on board, Wolak bets and the BB calls.

The river is another King, Wolak moves all in for nearly 40k and her opponent calls with K6.

“I knew he had a king,” says Wolak who gets the knockout with deuces full of Kings.

Tudorache says he folded pocket Aces after the flop and Wolak says, “I believe him.”

Tony Tran (Savannah, GA) has also chipped up and is at 70k.
