Alex Ivanov raises to 25,000 from middle position and Gigi Gagne reraises to 50,000 behind him. Keith Ferrera is in the small blind and four-bets to 200,000 total.
Ivanov quickly moves all-in for 393,000 total. Gagne gets an exact count and thinks a minute before she says, "You know what? Let’s do it. Rock and roll," and calls.
Ferrera is next to act and takes a minute before calling as well. Ivanov is all-in for the main pot, but there is still action pending when the flop comes [Qc9s3s]. Ferrera checks and Gagne moves all-in. Ferrera quickly folds.
Gagne turns over [KcQs] for top pair. Ivanov holds [JcJs]. The [5s] on the turn gives both players a flush draw, but Gagne has the bigger flush draw. The river [6d] is the end of the line for Ivanov and Gagne rakes in the gigantic pot to take a substantial chip lead going in to the unofficial final table.
Gigi Gagne – 2,550,000 (255 BBs)
Keith Ferrera – 715,000 (72 BBs)
Alex Ivanov – eliminated in 11th place ($13,423)
