Arriving at the table, Benjamin Garcia had already moved all in for 65,400 and [Removed:17] had reshoved from the blinds. The onus was on Team PokerStars SportStar Fatima Moreira de Melo who was tanking.

Finally she made the call for her 98,000 stack.

Garcia: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Yan: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
de Melo: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}

The board came {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and de Melo doubled through Yan while eliminating Garcia at the same time. She's gone from almost being out to chip leader in the space of about 20 minutes!
