On a heads-up flop of 7♠7♦A♦, Zhong Wilkerson bet 13,000 and [Removed:460] called to see the 9♥ on the turn.
Zhong then bet 35,000 to cover Abdallah, who made the call to put himself at risk and the cards were tabled.
[Removed:460]: A♣10♠
Zhong Wilkerson: A♠9♣
Abdallah needed to hit a ten to win or a seven to chop, but the river was the 2♥ to award the pot to Wilkerson and he made his way to the exit.

In a heads-up pot of around 14,500, Gabriel Abusada checked to Michael Arellano who bombed it for 20,000. This move sent Abusada deep into the tank for over two minutes before he tossed out chips to call.
Arellano then flipped over 9♣10♣ for a rivered flush and Abusada hastily mucked his hand.

On a heads-up flop of Q♣5♣6♦, Derek Normand moved all in and Zhong Wilkerson made the call to put him at risk.
Derek Normand: 6♣7♣
Zhong Wilkerson: 2♥2♠
Wilkerson needed to spike a deuce to win, but the runout of A♠4♦ did not do it and Normand scored a double.
The very next hand, she got it all back when she doubled through Normand with aces versus his flopped top pair of kings.
On the following hand, they were heads-up on the flop of 9♦2♠4♠ when Wilkerson bet 12,000 and Normand check-jammed all in. Wilkerson called with K♠Q♥ while Normand held 5♣5♠ for the lead. The runout of J♣5♥ improved Normand to a set of fives and he took the pot for a double.
And finally, on the next hand, Normand shoved preflop and once again Wilkerson called to put him at risk.
Derek Normand: K♦Q♥
Zhong Wilkerson: J♠9♠
The board ran out 9♥8♦2♠Q♣5♦ to give Normand the win with his pair of queens and he is sitting at 120,000 while Wilkerson was left with 62,000.
