Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Mariona Canals called from the small blind and Soraya Estrada checked out of the big blind.

Canals bet 12,000 on the 9♣5♦2♣ flop and Estrada called.

Canals bet again for 34,000 on the 7♥ turn and Estrada called.

Canals showed J♣8♥ for just jack-high. Estrada had A♥10♥ and had correctly called Canals down three streets with just ace-high.

The 7♣6♠Q♦ flop was checked by Ho Yin and Weng raised to 20,000, Ho Yin made the call.

The players checked down the 5♠ turn and the 5♣ river saw Ho Yin bet 35,000, getting Weng to fold.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Anna Gulevich raised to 24,000 from the cutoff and Maria Lampropulos shoved for 60,000 from the small blind. Gulevich called to put Lampropulos at risk.

Maria Lampropulos: Q♠Q♥ All in
Anna Gulevich: A♦K♦

A classic race would decide if Lampropulos was going to be the final table bubble girl. The runout of J♠2♥4♥4♣6♠ kept Lampropulos' queens in front, and she had doubled up.
