Angela Ramm: A♥8♠

Mary-Rose McCann opened to 2,000 from the hijack and got a call from Ilie Cristina in the cutoff, Yoko Okazaki in the small blind and Lisa Roberts in the big blind.

Lisa Roberts: A♦6♣ All in
Mary-Rose McCann: A♣7♣

Roberts was looking for help to stay alive but the J♠5♥3♠5♦4♦ runout didn't save her, and she was eliminated from the tournament, helping McCann to build her stack.
