After an open to 400 from Sang Ngo, four players made the call to see a flop of 3♦Q♦4♦.
The action checked to Ngo who continued for 2,000 and three players called to go to the turn 6♣.
This time the action checked to Barrett Threadgill who bet the pot of 10,000 and was called by Christopher Chomenko, but then Mackenzie Williams check-raised to 30,000.
"Well, it might be a short tournament for me!" Threadgill said as he moved all in for a little more. Chomenko thought about it for a bit but decided to get out of the way while Williams quickly called.
"You got the redraw?" Threadgill asked her.
"I have the nut redraw," William replied as she tabled her hand.
Barrett Threadgill: 5♥6♥7♠8♣
Mackenzie Williams: A♦5♦7♣2♠
Williams was freerolling Threadgill with her flush draw, but the river was the brick 9♥ for them to chop up the pot.

Bullock decided to check the river 5♦ and Lazar checked back.
"Seven-eight," Bullock announced and tabled 7♦8♦9♦10♥ for two pair and Lazar mucked.
