Garrity Gambling for a Knockout

We join a hotly-contested pot in progress, three-handed to the flop. It showed up {10-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}, and when the bet came to her, Rena Varghese moved all in for just over 18,000. Erik Cajelais was in the next seat over, and he paused to consider for a moment before making the call with the covering stack. Brandon Garrity still had a decision to make though, and he elected to move all in himself, sliding his stack of ~70,000 into the pot. That was enough to fold Cajelais and put him heads up with the at-risk Varghese.

Showdown
Varghese: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Garrity: {9-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}

Varghese was ahead for her tournament life, but Garrity was working with a pair and a flush draw. The {6-Spades} on the turn was a whiff, but the {7-Spades} hit the river, improving Garrity to the winning two pair and sending Varghese off into the sea of spectators.
