Slow and Steady

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante

There haven't been many significant pots, and even fewer flops seen. Play has certainly tightened on the final table bubble.

Alida Veliu
Alida Veliu

After a few raises in a blind vs. blind confrontation, Alida Veliu was all in and at risk with {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. She was racing against Svetlana Gromenkova's {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}, and Gromenkova flopped trips on {8-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Neither the turn ({5-Spades}) or the river ({10-Clubs}) was a deuce, and Veliu was eliminated.
