Judy Whitlow was all in and at risk from the hijack versus the covering stack of Alex Sampirisi in the cutoff. Emika Senda also all in from the button and covered by Sampirisi.
Judy Whitlow: A♠K♠
Emika Senda: A♣A♦
Alex Sampirisi: 10♥9♥
The 9♣J♥2♣ gave Sampirisi a pair and left Whitlow drawing slim. The Q♠ offered Whitlow some outs to a straight but it was Senda's rockets that held through the 2♦ river to scoop the pot and eliminate Whitlow.

Gianfranco Iaculli opened to 12,000 from the cutoff, Yuliyan Kolev three-bet shoved for 64,000 from the big blind and Iaculli made the call with a covering stack to put Kolev at risk.
Yuliyan Kolev: Q♠Q♦
Gianfranco Iaculli: J♥9♥
Kolev was a huge favorite with pocket queens and remained ahead on the 3♣3♥3♦Q♣8♣ runout to score a full double up at Iaculli's expense.
