Mebrathu More Than Doubles, Knocks Out Perez
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action folded to Ricky Perez on the button and he raised all in for his stack of 31,000, which Yordanos Mebrathu in the small blind called. Then Michael Skimbo in the big blind three-bet to put Mebrathu all in for her stack of 95,000, which she called as well, leaving Perez and Mebrathu at risk.
Ricky Perez: A♥9♦ 
Yordanos Mebrathu: A♠Q♣
Michael Skimbo: A♦9♥
Mebrathu was in a great spot to more than double up with Skimbo and Perez sharing cards. But after the 8♦9♣8♠ flop Mebrathu was the one needing help to stay in the tournament. However she quickly took the lead back after the Q♠ on the turn, and the 4♣ on the river gave her the pot and eliminate Perez with two pair queens and eights.
