Justin Zaki raises under the gun to 9,500, and Jane Hitchock (pictured) reraises UTG+1 to 20,000, which is half of her stack. A player in middle position calls, and Zaki reraises to 93,500. Hitchcock calls all in for 40,000, and the player in middle position tanks for a while before he folds.

Hitchcock turns over Heart 9Club 9, and she needs to improve to stay alive against Zaki’s Heart KDiamond K.

The board comes Diamond 10Spade 9Spade 3Spade QSpade J — Hitchcock expresses glee on the flop, but the river reverses her mood as Zaki makes a king-high straight to win the pot. Still in good spirits, Hitchcock smiles and gives Zaki a congratulatory fist-bump as she is eliminated from the tournament.
