Sungmi Cho opened the action with a raise to 13,000, and Beth Hall on the button made the call. Then Michael Casella three-bet all in for 157,000. Cho folded, and Hall went into the tank, but eventually counted out the chips to make the call, and put Casella at risk.
Michael Casella: A♣K♦ 
Beth Hall: 9♠9♥
Hall found the right call, but would need to win the race to knockout Casella. But when the board ran out 4♣2♠Q♠J♥7♣ the pocket nines of Hall remained best, and Casella was eliminated.
