Level 12

Paul Nheiu opened to 12,000 from the cutoff and was called by Christopher Hewitt in the small blind, as well as Evgenii Tsatskin in the big blind.
On the Q♦9♥7♣ flop, it checked to Nheiu who bet 25,000. Hewitt called and Tsatskin quickly got out of the way.
The turn brought the 3♥ as it checked to Nheiu again who cut out a bet of 60,000. Hewitt then jammed for his roughly 120,000 remaining stack, and Nheiu snapped it off as the covering player.
Christopher Hewitt: K♣Q♠ 
Paul Nheiu: 9♦9♣
Hewitt had flopped top pair with second kicker, but was drawing dead on the turn against the middle set of Nheiu. The 10♥ river was a mere formality as the three nines awarded Nheiu the pot, and Hewitt was eliminated.

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.

Wayne McGregor opened to 6,000 from early position and was called by Douglas Lee in the small blind and Tracie Osborn in the big blind.
The 8♥7♣4♠ flop checked through to the 6♦ turn which saw Osborn bet 5,000. McGregor flatted before Lee got out of the way.
The 5♠ river put a straight on the board as Osborn led for 10,000.
"That was the worst card in the deck," McGregor lamented as he flicked in the call.
Tracie Osborn: 9♣7♠
Wayne McGregor: 5♥5♦
McGregor already had the straight on the turn, but the river gave Osborn a higher straight and her final bet got paid.
