Jose Arenstein: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Kate Hoang: {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Connor Berkowitz raised it up from middle position and Ismael Bojang defended from the big blind. The flop came {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Bojang check-called a bet from Berkowitz.

Both players checked the {5-Diamonds} on the turn and then Bojang bet when the {7-Hearts} hit the river. Berkowitz called and Bojang tabled {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for two pair to take the pot, leaving Berkowitz with around 15,000 chips.

In the next hand, Berkowitz raised again and Bojang re-raised, enough to put Berkowitz to the test for his remaining chips.

The board ran out {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Bojang's pocket aces held on for the elimination.
