In back-to-back hands Catherine Valdez doubled up and then was eliminated by David Gonia.

In the first hand Gonia raised to 275,000 from the under-the-gun position and was called by a player in middle position.

Action folded to Valdez, who then three-bet shoved from the small blind, which was followed by a four-bet shove for less from Gonia and a fold from the middle position.

David Gonia: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Catherine Valdez: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-}{j-Diamonds}, whch secured the double-up for Gonia.

The very next hand a player raised from the middle position and Valdez three-bet shoved all in from the button.

Paul Lentz folded in his small blind, Gonia made the call from his big blind and the original raiser folded.

Catherine Valdez: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
David Gonia: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}, which gave Gonia a full house and eliminated Valdez from the tournament.
