"That's it guys," said the tournament staff over the P.A. system. "You're in the money!"

For that to have been true, someone must have been eliminated. The unfortunate soul who was the last out before the money was Pam MacNaughton. She open-shoved from the button for roughly 20,000 chips with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

and was called by Sean Keeton in the big blind, who showed {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

. MacNaughton was unable to catch her ace on a board of {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

and was eliminated in 41st place.

Keeton is up to 120,000 chips.
