Michael Chiappetta opened to 35,000 and Paulina Loeliger shoved all in for 210,000 on his left. Dario Sammartino also moved all in for 150,000 in the small blind. Fabio Bonatto re-shoved all in as the big stack in the big blind and Chiapetta folded 
face up.
Dario Sammartino: 
Paulina Loeliger: 
Fabio Bonatto: 
"Good spot for you," one of the players at the table said to Sammartino.
The flop came 
and Loeliger picked up a flush draw. The 
on the turn changed nothing but the 
on the river gave Loeliger a flush. Sammartino slammed his fist on the table as he was bounced from the tournament.
"Oh my god!" Loeliger exclaimed as she tried to explain her reasoning for shoving.
"Good spot, huh?" Sammartino muffled on his way out.

flop and checked to Vargas, who tapped the table also.

turn and was quickly called by Vargas to the river.

to take down the pot.
