Dinesh Velupillay looked up the shove of Sarah Bilney for 12,600 on a flop of {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and tabled {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} out of the big blind. Bilney had the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and held up thanks to the {6-Clubs} turn and {K-Diamonds} river.

Jordan Westmorland was all in after a flop of {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Tony Shlemon check-called from the big blind.

Jordan Westmorland: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}
Tony Shlemon: {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Neither the {K-Spades} turn nor the {8-Hearts} brought a diamond or one of his two over cards for Westmorland and he quickly left the tournament area.

Daiva Byrne jammed for 10 big blinds on the button and Yin Liu in the big blind called.

Daiva Byrne: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Yin Liu: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Dara O'Kearney, who had his aces cracked earlier to bust, was on the rail and stepped closer to see the showdown. The board ran out {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and Byrne dodged an additional straight draw to remain in contention, dragging in the pot with a smile and the words "It is never easy."
