After a raise of 60,000 from Yongshuo Zheng, Hiren "Sunny" Patel moved all in for his last 270,000. Action folded around to Zheng who called quickly after hearing the amount Patel was all in for.

Patel: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Zheng: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

Patel had got it in with a coin flip for the last of his chips and he could double if he just faded Zheng's outs. Unfortunately for Patel, the flop came down {Q-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} giving Zheng the immediate lead in the hand and putting Patel in a deep hole. The turn was the {J-Hearts} giving Patel four additional outs but removing his two tens as outs. The river was not a king though as it fell the {9-Clubs}. That was all she wrote for Patel who was eliminated from the tournament in ninth place.

Loni Harwood
Loni Harwood

When Loni Harwood started this hand, she was the short stack. Now, she is the chip leader.

Harwood raised it up in early position to 60,000, and Hiren Patel defended his big blind. The flop came down {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, and Patel checked to Harwood, who bet out 60,000 again. Patel thought for about 30 seconds before check raising to 165,000, and it was back to Harwood.

Harwood took her time with the decision, all the while sitting still as a statue. After about a minute, she grabbed raising chips, and put in a reraise to 335,000. Patel only took about 20 seconds to announce all in, and Harwood made the call.

Harwood: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Patel: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

It was literally a coin flip at this point, according to the Pokernews Odds Calculator, as Harwood held a 50.20% to 49.80% lead. Harwood's rail called for a deuce, and the dealer obligded with a {2-Hearts} on the turn. Harwood was looking to dodge a nine or a diamond, and she did just that, as the {q-Spades} hit the river.

Harwood scored the massive double up to 1.9 million, while Patel plummeted to 250,000.
