Ha Has Huge Chip Lead After Eliminating Threadgill
Just 25,000 was in the middle on a turn board of J♠3♠3♥6♣, but that pot would grow large and quickly after a massive cooler.
Brenda Threadgill bet 20,000 from the big blind and was raised to 80,000 by Thai Ha under the gun. Threadgill then moved all in for about 300,000 and was instantly called by Ha creating the largest pot of the day.
The winner would be the massive chip leader, and it would be Ha.
Brenda Threadgill: 9♦6♦6♥5♦
Thai Ha: J♦J♥5♥4♥
Threadgill's turned full house of sixes full of threes was drawing to one out versus Ha's flopped jacks full of threes.
The 6♠ would fail to materialize on the river for Threadgill, as instead it was the A♠, ending Threadgill's day in horrific fashion, while sending Ha's stack to 800,000 and a massive chip lead.
Play is now continuing hand-for-hand with just one more elimination needed to send the final nine players to Day 2 in the money.
