Isaac Cramer opened the action with a raise to 12,000 from the hijack, and was called by Ramona Jacobi in the small blind.
The flop came 7?K?10? and Jacobi check-called a bet of 6,000 from Cramer.
After the 3? on the turn Jacobi checked to Cramer who bet to put her all in for her last 20,000, which she called.
Ramona Jacobi: 9?9? 
Isaac Cramer: A?K?
Jacobi would need a nine avoid being eliminated on the bubble, but when the river brought the 8? the pair of kings from Cramer were best, to burst the bubble.
