Heavy preflop action opened with Yu Yeh Chun raising from hijack that found one caller in Nirunrut Rachburom on the button. Action moved to the small blind Shinichiro Kano who jammed just over a million then big blind Kevin Choi slid out the call. 

Back to Chun, he got out of the way while Rachburom went clear other direction with a shove. Choi called again and they flipped them over.

Shinichiro Kano: A ♥️ Q ♥️

Nirunrut Rachburom: K ♠️ K ♥️

Kevin Choi: K ♦️ 9 ♦️

Rachburom and Choi improved on the flop 9 ♥️ K ♣️ J ♦️ with the former far ahead. The turn 3 ♦️ gave a scare with Choi now with a flush draw. Rachburom's sweat ended on the river with the 7 ♥️ assuring her the win and the enormous pot.
