Walsh Wamboozled

Lisa Walsh - Eliminated
Lisa Walsh - Eliminated
In early position, Ali Khalil raises to 10,500. The betting passes around to James Frendo in the small blind, and he makes the call. Next is Lisa Walsh, and she squeezes the table, reraising all in for about 40,000 from the big blind. Khalil reraises, serving to isolate himself against the all-in Walsh as Frendo ducks out.

Showdown:
Khalil: {A-Spades} {8-Spades}
Walsh: {6-Hearts} {6-Spades}

The flop didn't pair Khalil, but it didn't miss him entirely either. The {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {K-Spades} added another four outs to his race. The turn was a blank, the {3-Clubs}. Walsh ran into trouble on the river though. The {10-Spades} peeled off, making Kahlil's straight and relinquishing her to the rail. She ships her chips across the felt to Ali Khalil, who has moved up very close to 200,000.
