In the last hand before the break, with the blinds at 3,000-6,000, Patricia Conrad moved all in from the small blind for 93,000, and Joanne Milburn thought for a while before she called all in for 92,000 with 5h5c.

Conrad turned over 10s10h, and whoever lost this pot would either be eliminated or down to 1K.

The board came JsJh4d3h5d, and Milburn spiked a five on the river to win the pot with a full house, fives full of jacks. Conrad suffered the bad beat to be knocked all the way down to a single 1K chip with the blinds increasing to 4,000-8,000.

Joanne Milburn  –  190,000  (24 bb)
Patricia Conrad  –  1,000 (0.13 bb)

The (tiny) silver lining for Conrad is that she would now be on the button for the next hand, and wouldn’t be forced all in for another seven hands.

Three hands later, Conrad called all in from the hijack for 1,000, and M.G. Fernandez moved all in over the top from the small blind for about 75,000 with As5d.

Conrad turned over 9c8c, and she needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came AdJc3s2d9h, and Fernandez paired her ace on the flop to win the pot and eliminate Conrad in ninth place.

M.G. Fernandez  –  85,000  (11 bb)
