Hoa Nguyen raised to 32,000 from UTG, Vesenia Garcia moved all in for an additional 94,500. The action folded around back to Nguyen who tanked for several minutes. She asked for an exact count and discovered that Garcia had her covered by 1,500. Finally, Nguyen called.

Nguyen {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

Garcia {A-Hearts} {J-Spades}

The flop was a stomach-churning {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {9-Clubs}, Nguyen flopping top set, but Garcia picking up an open-ended straight draw. The turn was the {8-Hearts}, filling Garcia's straight and the {7-Diamonds} rolled off on the river. Nguyen couldn't boat up and she was eliminated in 16th place, taking home $7,472.

After the hand, Garcia was overheard saying "I had to do it... I've been hitting everything today" as she stacked up her 265,000 in chips.
