Ronit Chamani got the rest of her stack all in preflop against Josh Gattesman. The two were about even in chips with Gattesman only having Chamani covered by 2,000 with his 97,000 to her 95,000.

Chamani: {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Gattesman: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flop was {2-Spades}{j-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} pairing Gattesman but giving Chamani clubs or an ace as outs. The {7-Spades} on the turned paired Chamani, giving her the two remaining sevens as outs as well going to fifth.

The {k-Hearts} bricked out for her on the river, however, and she was sent to the rail in 13th place.
