There are a few female players sprinkled throughout the field. Some are running better than others. Maya Geller-Antonius called the all in of an opponent on a board of {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

{10-Spades}

. She tabled {j-Spades}

{j-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

and found herself up against unimproved ace-king. The board blanked out {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

to give her a double-up to 29,000.

At a different table, Helen Davis held a similar hand -- {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

-- but ran into Joe Cabret's pocket aces {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Clubs}

. A third player who had been dealt pocket jacks got caught up in the mix. He wound up making a set of jacks on the river, but the board four-flushed in clubs to give Cabret the victory. He sent both players to the rail and climbed to 88,000.
