Action folded to Scott Stewart on the button and he opened to 100,000 with {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

Stacy called.

The turn came {9-Spades} and Stacy check-called a second barrel of 270,000, bringing the river {4-Clubs}. Stacy checked for a final time and Stewart fired a third and final barrel for 615,000.

Having missed the flush draw and backdoor gutshot straight draw, Stacy let his hand go and Stewart took down the pot.

Barbara Rogers open-shoved for 270,000 with {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}. Action folded around to Thad McNulty in the small blind, who called with {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Scott Stewart looked down at {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} in the big blind and re-jammed for 2.285 million, pushing McNulty out of the pot.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs} to give Rogers an extra out despite Stewart flopping trips. Instead, running {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} gave both players a full house, with Rogers' jacks full second best to Stewart's aces full to result in her elimination from the tournament in eighth place.
