Action folded around to sb William Fasano who limped then called bb Ahmed Ibrahimi’s 23k raise. The flop 9♥ 6♠ 3♣ induced more action with Ibrahimi c-betting 18k and Fasano check-calling.

Painful way to go for Sumire Hori with the money just three spots away. Hori shoved her remaining 144k stack with 8♥ 8♦, and got called by chip leader Moe jiggy with A♥ Q♥.
