Kim Nguyen raised with the button, Darren Woods re-raised, Nguyen got the rest of her stack in the middle, and Woods called.
Nguyen: 
Woods: 
Nguyen was in great shape to double, and the 
flop kept her in the lead. The 
on the turn was clean, and all signs pointed towards a double-up until the 
slammed on the river to give Woods trips.
All Nguyen could do was laugh - and she has good reason to smile. She bested 352 runners, and earns $131,900 for her second place finish. Nguyen was the third woman to make a final table at the 2011 World Series of Poker, but after falling short this is officially the 179th straight open event won by a male player.
However, with the recent success of female players, that number is surely in danger.
