The players were in hand-for-hand mode and playing to make it into the money. There were two all-ins on the same hand.
The first table promised a lot of action as Tracey Hill raised to 6,000 from late position. Cecile Ticherfatine then made a three-bet to 21,000, which Hill responded to with an all-in. Ticherfatine took her time to consider the call, as Hill had 153,000 chips. Ultimately, she decided to call, and they went to showdown.
Tracey Hill: 6♠6♦
Cecile Ticherfatine: K♦K♣
The board didn't change the initial situation as it showed 9♥Q♥10♦2♦J♣, giving Ticherfatine a straight, even though she didn't need it. This boosted Ticherfatine's stack to half a million, and Hill was eliminated.
At the second table, the action was very clear. Andrea Quadros went all in with A♣Q♥ and was called by Melanie Kaye with 7♥7♣.
Quadros was at risk and had to hope for a hit. Kaye called out, "lucky sevens," and she was right as the board showed 9♥K♦8♦9♦6♦, sending Quadros to the rail.
