Action was caught when Jeannie Villareal was at risk for 6,900 chips against the button.
Jeannie Villareal: 7♥6♣
Button: 5♦5♥
According to the table and to her, Villareal wanted to be eliminated in order to rebuy. She stood up, grabbed her bag, and was ready to leave when the dealer revealed a board of 8♠5♣7♦, which gave her opponent a set.
However, the situation took an unexpected turn when the 7♠ appeared on the turn, giving Villareal trip sevens, but improving her opponent to fives-full. Then, thanks to the river 8♥, she improved to a bigger boat with sevens-full. Villareal thought she was out of the tournament, but to her surprise, she remained in the game with 18,000 chips.
Down to 2,800, her opponent went all in preflop on the next hand and was unlucky again, losing with K♣Q♣ against J♦9♦ on a board of 5♦9♥9♠4♣A♦.
