On the first hand back from dinner break, Laurence Grondin raised to 90,000 from the cutoff and got called by Jordan Smith on the button.

Action moved to Almira Skripchenko, who then pushed all in for 640,000 from the small blind. Gromdin folded, and Smith called.

Smith: {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Skripchenko: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Skripchenko was way ahead, but it didn't last as the flop fell {5-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. When she couldn't find a king on the turn or river, which came {8-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, she left in 7th place with $78,664.

Smith ended the hand with a stack worth 1,850,000.
