Action picked up preflop, with Kevon Bakhtiari all-in for roughly 22,000, and his opponent in the tank facing a tough decision.
The clock was called and Bakhtiari's opponent begrudgingly threw his cards into the muck.
"If you had queens, you made a good fold," Bakhtiari commented, as he dragged in the pot.
Jamie Kerstetter raised from under the gun and was called by two players in the cutoff and big blind.
The flop rolled out 7♣J♥3♣ and action checked around to Kerstetter who bet 1,000 which both players called.
On the turn 6♣, all players checked around to the K♣ river where action got to Kerstetter who bet 5,500 which saw both of her opponents fold, with one showing a J♣.
Earlier at the same table, Blake Bohn and Ryan Leng were eliminated from the tournament.
