Action Flop, Turn and River

There's already 6,000 in the pot preflop and action between Mai Xiong, Ernesto Garcia (above) and Josh Valdez.

Xiong checks the    flop. Garcia makes it 3,000, Valdez calls and Xiong check-calls. That's 15,000 in the pot now.

Another check from Xiong on the  turn. Garcia moves all-in for 22,900, Valdez calls and before he can get his chips counted out, Xiong also announces she is calling.

Garcia -   for a flopped middle set
Valdez -   for a flopped flush draw and turned bottom end of the straight
Xiong -   for a turned top end of the straight, the nuts (so far)

"No diamonds," calls out Xiong as she looks to take down the pot.

Well, there was no diamond, but she didn't call for the board to not pair. Garcia goes boat with the  to triple up and take almost all of Xiong's stack. She is out a few hands later, while Garcia moves to 84,000. Valdez is down to fewer than 10BB and is out a few hands after Xiong.
