Carlos Gonzalez opened to 8,000 from cutoff before Tracie Osborn jammed from the small blind, and Gonzalez called off his 45,500 stack to put himself at risk.
Carlos Gonzalez: Q♦10♦
Tracie Osborn: A♠A♦
Gonzalez was in terrible shape against the bullets but he found some help on the J♠10♠3♥ flop, making a pair.
The 8♠ turn added a gutshot to his outs, but it was the Q♥ the landed on the river to give him the winner as he jumped out of his chair in celebration.
Osborn was left with just a couple chips and was eliminated the next hand, bringing the tournament to its final 18 players as a redraw is now taking place for the final two tables.
