Esther Taylor was already all-in and at risk, and was up against Brian Battistone and Brian Tate.
All three players were looking at the 10♦8♠3♥7♣5♦ board, which Battistone and Tate checked through to showdown.
Battitstone had 7♥3♠2♦, keeping his fourth card hidden, but he mucked his hand after Tate showed down A♥4♥9♣7♦ and Taylor tabled A♠4♦8♦6♥.
Tate and Taylor chopped up the low with their seven-fives, but Taylor took the high, as she had an eight-high straight to take three-quarters of the pot. Taylor chipped up to around 23,500, while Battistone was left with around 53,000.
On the next deal, Calvin Anderson raised from the hijack, and called when Philip Sternheimer three-bet from the button.
The J♥3♥3♦ flop checked through before Sternheimer called bets on the 5♣ turn and 10♥ river. Anderson tabled A♥6♥6♣3♣ for a flush, and took down the pot.
A few hands later, Battistone was eliminated from the table.
