Steinhouse didn't find anything throughout the board 3♦3♣K♣10♠10♣ and made her way to the payout desk to collect the min-cash.
JJ Liu raised to 11,000 in middle position and Benita Novshadian called before Ana Marquez decided to three-bet to 36,000 in the cutoff. Liu folded and Novshadian shoved for 73,000. marquez considered it for some time and called:
Benita Novshadian: A♣K♣
Ana Marquez: A♦Q♣

Geraldine Spears moved all in for her remaining 8,000 chips from middle position. Alisa Baumann called from the hijack and the players flipped their hands.
Geraldine Spears: A♦K♥
Alisa Baumann: 8♥8♠
Spears was looking to improve to stay alive and make the money, but there was no help on the 4♥5♣J♣ flop.
The 5♦ was turned and Spears was still behind.
She was left to walk away from the table on the 5♥ river and she just missed out on reaching the money.
