Novotny Fails to Survive Level 12

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We saw Karen Novotny exiting the tournament area, and a quick check with Michael Sanders, who did the deed, confirmed that she'd been eliminated.

According to Sanders, he opened with a raise and Novotny called. The player on the button came along and the three players saw a flop of {j-}{9-}{6-}. Sanders continued, Novotny called, and the other player got out of the way.

When a {8-} peeled off on the turn, Sanders checked, Novotny bet most of her stack, and Sanders check-raised all in. Novotny, who began the hand with roughly 40,000, called off.

Novotny: {10-}{j-}
Sanders: {q-}{10-}

Sanders had turned a straight, meaning Novotny could only chop with a queen. It wasn't in the cards though as the river was a blank.
