Megan Yalkut opened to 6,000 from the hijack and Sung Yun raised to 24,000 from the small blind. Yalkut made the call.

Sung Yun: 10♠10♣
Megan Yalkut: 8♣8♦
Yalkut said 'nice hand' to Yun after seeing her steal the pot with a better pocket pair.
Wing Sze Ko moved all in from the button for her remaining ~18,000 stack. Marta Porter called from the small blind and players flipped their cards.
Wing Sze Ko: A♠A♣
Marta Porter: K♣10♥

On the next table across, Alexandra Loveless was all in for 14,000 from an early position and action had folded around to Elizabeth Bennett-Martin in the big blind.
Bennett-Martin moved a chip in to call and the players went heads-up to showdown.
Alexandra Loveless: Q♥10♥
Elizabeth Bennett-Martin: Q♦K♥
The flop came 10♦6♥J♦ which brought in a pair and backdoor flush draw for loveless. Bennett-Martin also was looking at a straight and backdoor flush draw.
A Q♣ was turned, bringing in top pair for Bennett-Martin.

Ortal Alon: A♦7♠
Ylianttila was looking to hold to stay alive in the tournament.
The 2♦6♠9♣5♥5♦ runout was good for Ylianttila, and she sat back with double the stack.

Silva Montini: K♦Q♠
Emma Wilkinson: A♣K♠
The 8♠7♥2♥9♦K♥ runout didn't change things for Montini and she was eliminated from the tournament.
