Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up with three women - Molissa Farber, Marian Myszkowski and Elisa Nakagawa - on their feet with their cards and chips in the middle of the table for a three-way all-in showdown.

Marian Myszkowski: A♦J♣ All in
Molissa Farber: K♥K♠ All in
Elisa Nakagawa: 5♥5♣

The moment the hands were tabled, Nakagawa joked about changing her mind and reclaiming her chips. However, the 10♣8♣5♦ flop gave her a set, moving her into the lead. Farber still had minimal outs that could turn things around.

The A♣ turn gave Myszkowski additional outs with a flush draw. But the river 4♥ ended the wait and sealed both Myszkowski's and Farber's fate of getting eliminated from the tournament. Nakagawa, happily surprised, scooped the pot as the other two players left the table.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was picked up on the river on a board of Q♣3♣6♦8♠9♥, and Rachel Buchanan was all in for her last 1,100 from the cutoff and had three callers. Diana Kalietina on the button, Alice Lee from the small blind, and Katherine Riga in middle position. The pot was about 4,500.

On the river, Diana Kalietina put out a bet of 5,000 into a dry side pot, and Lee, jokingly said "Thief" but folded, and Riga folded.

Rachel Buchanan: A♦Q♦ All in
Diana Kalietina: 10♠7♠

Kalietina had made the straight on the river, and Buchanen's pair of queens was not good enough.
