Abby Merk: 6♥5♥
Assaf Zeharia: J♣9♣
Both players had turned a straight, but Zeharia had the superior of the two holdings. The K♣ river couldn't save Merk and she was sent to the rail.
There were some celebrations and shouts from the corner of the room, which is expected with multiple final tables going on inside the horseshoe but upon closer inspection this celebratory cheering outburst was not coming from a final table but from a table in Level 2 of the Main Event.
The board told the story as it showed 6♠10♣8♣2♣2♠. Bradley Nessar's winning hand of 8♦8♠ had made runner-runner boat to upend the 9x7x flopped straight of his opponent to keep Nessar alive as he continued to celebrate with along with a bit of a rail supporting him.
Action was retold that Nessar had bet 6,000 on the flop, his opponent had raised to 15,000 and Nessar moved all in when he was snap-called to make it look like he was going to be eliminated before the savior ducks on the turn and river.
