Daniele Feitosa had quite the opening hand to her event. Action was caught on the turn of AxQx8x6x and Michelle Richey bet 800 from the small blind. Feitosa raised to 2,600 and Richey, after some thinking, folded.
Freitosa turned over AxAx for flopped set of aces and said this was her first hand. Richey said she also had an ace, but her instincts were strongly telling her to fold.

Action was caught on the river Q♦6♥10♣Q♣9♥. The pot had balooned to 16,000, before Mitzi Castelli bet 5,000 on the river from the small blind.
Kelly Williams, who was in middle position, went into the tank, thinking for a couple of minutes before putting in the call. Castelli turned over 6♣6♦ for the flopped set and turned full house, and Williams mucked. She later said she had trip queens.
