Vivian Saliba: 9♠9♥

The devilish 6♣6♠6♥ flop gave both players a full house but Saliba was still behind. The 5♥J♣ runout confirmed the double-up for Spataru.

The following hand, Saliba committed her last 7,000 and action it folded to Gianluca Gallo in the big blind who automatically called as his big blind covered Saliba's shove.

Saliba had K♦10♠ and was flipping against 3♠3♣. She paired up on the J♦10♥4♦ flop and held out to double after the 6♣ turn and K♠ river.

However, a few hands later, Saliba was seen headed to the payout desk.
