Yesterday we told you the story of American poker pro Nancy Birnbaum, who was playing in her first-ever EPT Main Event.
Birnbaum did well on Day 1b, but her journey took a turn for the worst on Day 2 as she only seemed to dwindle over the course of the last three levels.
We missed her elimination, but she was kind enough to fill us in on the details. According to her, she was down to just six big blinds when she got it in holding against the of an opponent. It was a flip, but the coin did not come down in Birnbaum's favor as the flop contained a king.
No three would appear, and Birnbaum was left no recourse but to go enjoy the city.
Benjamin Richardson made it 3,500 to go from middle position and Alexander Lakhov three bet to 10,200 from the hijack. Gavin O'Rourke on the button cold four bet to 22,000 and the small blind folded. Niall Farrell in the big blind tanked for a bit but folded in the end, as did Richardson. Lahov instantly moved all in and O'Rourke called just as quick.
