The first big pot of the day came when Bigfus flopped three 9's against her friend's top-pair top-kicker, as she patiently extracted maximum value calling each street



A few hands after taking most of her brother's chips with QJo against his AA, Rowanv eliminates Rowanb after calling his short-stacked preflop all-in with A-7 and having the hand hold up against an open-ended straight draw and flush draw after the flop



The winning hand, as the blinds forced Bigfus to move in with a weak hand, ending an epic heads-up battle where both players held commanding chip leads at different times
