Haven Werner

The action was picked up preflop when Haven Werner had all the chips in the middle against an opponent putting her at risk for her tournament life.

Haven Werner: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and on the river just needed to avoid an ace or a queen to double up and it was the {4-Spades} which gave her the double up she needed to stay alive.

The action was picked up preflop when Michael Wang was all-in for his remaining 9,500 in chips and at risk for his tournament life against an opponent.

Michael Wang: {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Opponent: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Wang needed a lot of help but being short stacked he made a move and the board ran out {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades} giving him a much needed seven on the turn to double his stack and remain in the tournament.
