Adrian Mateos raised to 10,000 on the button and Cherish Andrews three-bet jammed a stack of around 75,000 in the small blind. Mateos quickly called.
Cherish Andrews: 3♠3♣
Adrian Mateos: A♥J♣
Andrews stayed ahead with threes as the board ran out Q♥2♦4♥6♠Q♦ to earn her a double.

Blinds: 2,500/5,000
Ante: 5,000
Joao Simao raised to 8,500 in middle position and Jeremy Becker three-bet jammed for 39,000 from the next seat. There was some friendly table talk before Simao called to put Becker at risk.
Jeremy Becker: A♠5♠
Joao Simao: K♠10♠
"Give him a flush," said Simao before the flop landed 5♦J♦5♣ to give Becker trips as the board finished out 8♣10♦ to confirm a double for Becker.
"Not a spade in sight," Becker said.
Cherish Andrews raised on the button and called a three-bet from Brock Wilson in the big blind.
The flop of 8♥3♥9♥ checked through and Wilson checked again on the 5♦ turn. Andrews bet 28,000 and Wilson called.
Wilson then led out for 45,000 on the K♦ river and Andrews folded.

Despite doubling up early, Mike Meskin was seen leaving his seat after being eliminated from the tournament.
Sam Laskowitz opened to 6,000 in middle position and Sean Winter three-bet to 16,500 from the next seat. Laskowitz called.
Laskowitz checked on the flop of 8♥Q♣A♣ and Winter continued for 8,000. Laskowitz called. Both players then checked on the 7♣ turn.
Laskowitz checked once more on the 2♦ river and Winter checked back. Laskowitz showed K♣Q♠ for a pair of queens, but it was no good against the A♠9♣ of Winer with a pair of aces.
"What a PLO hand," commented Winter.
