The flop came Q♣4♣9♣ and Farahi checked to Cho who went all in for Farahi's last 450,000. After thinking over his decision, he made the call to put himself at risk.

Alexander Farahi: 5♠4♥ All in
Sungmin Cho: K♣Q♥

Farahi flopped a pair and went with it, but would need to improve to beat the pair of queens from Cho. But when the board ran out 9♠ on the turn, and 2♦ on the river, Cho had the best hand still and Farahi was eliminated in 8th place.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Brian Hastings opened the action with a raise to 300,000 from the hijack and was called by the big blind Katherine Brandt.

The flop came Q♦K♠9♥ and Brandt check-called a bet of 250,000.

After the 3♠ on the turn, Brandt again check-called a bet from Hastings, this time for 450,000.

The river brought the Q♠ and after Brandt checked, Hastings announced all in for Brandt's stack of 1,800,000. After sitting in the tank for over two minutes, she made the call and turned over A♣Q♥ for trip queens. Unfortunately for her Hastings tabled A♠10♠ for the nut flush and eliminated Brandt in fifth place.
