Lauren Roberts doubled through Koray Aldemir to take the chip lead in heads up play. Then Aldemir busted shortly after when the two were all in preflop.
A few hands before the final hand, the board read [Tc5s3sAsJh] and Roberts bet 700,000 into a pot of 2,700,000.
Aldemir held [Qs4c] and shoved all in, putting Roberts at risk should she call. Roberts didn’t even hesitate and called with [AhTs] and double up to take the chip lead.
After passing a few blinds and antes back and forth, Aldemir went all in with [Qc3h] and Roberts called with [Ac4d].
To say that Roberts flopped the world might be an understatement as the flop came [6c4c2c], but Aldemir still had a chance with a gut-shot straight draw.
The turn was the [6s] and the river completed the flush with the [8c] eliminating Aldemir in second place. He will take home $159,000 for his finish.
