Carson Stays Alive

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jeffrey Fielder raised on the button. Aditya Rao jammed his big stack in the small blind. Fong Carson called the all in from the big blind and Fielder tanked a bit before he folded.

Rao had the chance for the knockout holding the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} vs the {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} of Carson.

Carson started to stand up but the flop sat her back down as it came {j-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{7-Spades}. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and the river came the {3-Spades} to secure her double up.

Suyat Downs Jimenez

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Joshua Suyat put Michelle Jiminez all-in at risk after she bet 70,000 on the {9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts} board. Jiminez put in the last of her chips and was on the verge of exiting the event.

Michelle Jimenez: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Joshua Suyat: {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Suyat had the straight but Jiminez was still alive with her flush draw, as well as the possibility of chopping the pot.

The {5-Spades} river condemned her hand and she was eliminated.
