Sassine Ghazaleh limped in from early position only to have Nadia Lahham make it 40,000 more from the small blind.

The big blind passed and Ghazaleh pushed all in before Lahham insta-called.

Ghazaleh: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Lahham: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The flop of {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades} changed little, but when the {Q-Diamonds} landed on the turn it thrust Ghazaleh in the lead and Lahham at risk for her tournament life.

Lahham would unfortunately see the {2-Hearts} fall on the river to see her tournament end in 16th place.
