Kevin Wang raises from the hijack, Mark Tornai calls from the button, and Lara Eisenberg calls from the big blind.

The flop comes Diamond 7Diamond 5Heart 3, Eisenberg checks, and Wang bets 650,000. Tornai calls, and Eisenberg check-raises to 2,500,000. Wang three-bets all in for 6,000,000, and Tornai folds.

Eisenberg calls with Heart 9Diamond 9 for an overpair, and Wang turns over Diamond ADiamond 2 for a diamond flush draw with a gutshot straight draw. Wang needs to improve to stay alive.

The turn card is the Spade J, the river card is the Club J, and the pocket nines hold up for Eisenberg to win the pot and eliminate Wang in 16th place.

Lara Eisenberg  –  22,400,000  (90 bb)
