Event 4 was one elimination away from a two-table redraw when a big, loud hand went down. We caught the end and the table gave a brief recap. Joann Coliny played tough through the bubble last night, built a nice stack this afternoon, and was laddering up.

Until she found aces.

Coliny was all-in at risk with aces against Aleksandr Tishchenko with queens and Jeffrey Abramowitz with big slick. Abramowitz caught a king on the flop, everyone made two pair on the turn when a second deuce came, and Abramowitz binked another king on the river to send both out.

That left the field with 17 players remaining and they redrew new seats at the last two tables.
