With Muskan Sethi eliminated not too long ago, Fatima Moreira de Melo was Team PokerStars Pro's last hope. Well, those hopes are now squashed as she too has hit the rail.
Moreira de Melo told us how she opened the hijack to 4,500 holding . The player in the cutoff three-bet to 15,500 and the button and both blinds gave up. Moreira de Melo shoved for around 60,000 or so and the cutoff called.
The cutoff showed and hit a queen right on the flop. Moreira de Melo received no help on the turn or river and packed her things and made her exit.
