Phillips & Gonzalez Survive Elimination
Level 21
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
After action had limped around, Kelli Phillips raised to 50,000 in the big blind and Vikram Vijay called on the button, but then Gonzalo Gonzalez back-raised all-in from the small blind. Phillips quickly called the bet, putting herself at risk, and Vijay followed suit, covering both.
Phillips: 
Gonzalez: 
Vijay: 
The flop of 
gave Vijay the lead with a pair of Tens but the turn 
gave both Phillips and Gonzales a Broadway straight, leaving Vijay drawing dead. After a meaningless 
river, Phillips and Gonzalez split the pot and avoided elimination.
