Sumire Uenomachi raised from the hijack to 10,000, and Nancy Birnbaum made the call in the cutoff. The flop arrived with 2♣4♥9♣, and Uenomachi bet out 13,000, and Birnbaum raised to 35,000. Uenomachi called.

On the turn 6♥, Birnbaum led out with 50,000, and Uenomachi moved all in for 65,000. Birnbaum was pot-committed at this point and called.

Before flipping over her cards, Birnbaum stated, "Nice hand you win".

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Stephani Hagberg limped from the small blind and Maribel Chapa-Gracia checked the big blind.

The 3♥8♦5♣ flop was check-called by Hagberg after Chapa-Gracia bet 10,000.

Both players checked down the 7♣ turn and K♥ river and Chapa-Gracia showed 2♣8♣ for a pair of eights, and Hagberg mucked.

In the next hand, Chapa-Gracia called a 10,000 open from Tammy Vaught in the cutoff.

The action was checked all the way down from the 8♦6♥K♦ flop and 4♣ turn, to the 2♣ river.

Chapa-Gracia showed Q♠2♣ for a pair of deuces, and Vaught mucked.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Tammy Vaught opened to 10,000 from late position and Stephani Hagberg three-bet to 30,000 from the hijack. Sigrid Dencker four-bet jammed for around 56,000 and only Hagberg called.

Sigrid Dencker: 9♣9♥ All in
Stephani Hagberg: K♣K♥

Dencker needed to improve, but Hagberg improved on the K♦A♥5♠ flop.

There was no hope for Dencker on the 7♣ turn and she stood from the table as the dealer placed the J♦ river.

Vaught had only 86,000 left after the hand but picked up the blinds by shoving for her remaining stack next hand.

She got it through and showed A♥Q♦.
