Jared Rubin completed before Esther Taylor raised, sending Rubin deep into the tank.
"If I win this hand I'll give myself a standing ovation," Taylor said.
"Go away you piranhas," Craig Chait added as players at the other tables began to gather around.
"Piranhas everywhere," Taylor said as she began singing "Let It Go" From Frozen. "Think of Elsa. She always made the right decision," she added.
"Nobody is rooting for me," Taylor said as Rubin continued to tank.
"I'm rooting for you," Alex Livingston replied.
"He's Ricky Bobbying it. He might crash his car going for first, but he's going for it," Chait said about the big-stacked Livingston.
"Come on, this tournament would be a lot less fun without me. Nobody wants this," Taylor told Rubin, who eventually called. Taylor then moved all in on fourth street and Rubin called.
"Do I have a straight?" Taylor asked as her board ran out K♣10♦A♠J♥Q♦. Rubin ended up with 5♠9♥4♦5♦3♦A♥K♠ and handed over the double-up.
As promised, Taylor got up and started clapping, receiving a rather muted response.
