Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Summer Jarreau admitted that it was her birthday, and the table sang for her at the start of the break. Shortly before the break, Jarreau received a gift of a fold from the table when it was her big blind. Unfortunately, she showed A♠K♠.

In this hand, Summer Jarreau raised from the button, Lisa Tan flat called from the small blind, and Kayla Clackum three-bet all in from the big blind for 91,000. Jarreau folded, and Tan called.

"I just have a small pair," stated Tan.

Kayla Clackum: K♠Q♣ All in
Lisa Tan: 3♦3♣

The dealer shot out 8♠5♦8♥J♦6♦, and Tan's two pair would win the pot, leaving Clackum to head to the pay desk for her prize.

Sheila Masterson: A♣A♠ All in
Juliet Hegedus: K♥Q♥

Hegedus was behind, but had a flush draw. It missed when the [10] hit on the river, and she had suffered another near 200,000-chip loss.
