Daiane Mendes Out in 16th Place ($20,788)

Christopher Bolek raises to 35,000 to open the pot under the gun, and both Daiane Mendes (middle position) and Saied Zamiri (big blind) come along.

The flop is [KdJc7s], and Bolek continues out with 60,000. Mendes quickly calls, Zamiri check-folds, and it’s heads up to the turn. It’s the [9c]. Bolek checks this time, and Mendes takes her cue to move all in for 386,000.

Bolek spends a few minutes in the tank before making the call with his big stack, and Mendes is at risk. And she is in trouble.

Bolek: [KcJh]
Mendes: [Ks9s]

The lady’s two pair is second best, and she needs to find another nine to stay alive. The river is a blank, though, the [7h].

With that, the last remaining female has been eliminated. Mendes falls in 17th place, good for more than $20,000.
