O'Brien Picks Off James

Ollie Garland

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The pot stood at approximately 16,000 with two players looking at a full board of A♦J♠9♠10♠4♣.

Alexandra O'Brien, who was under the gun, checked the action to Georgina James, in the cutoff. James bet out 8,000 and O'Brien went deep into the tank.

O'Brien thought for several minutes, apologising to the table for her tanking. O'Brien eventually made the call. James rolled over Q♥10♥ for a pair of tens, but was behind O'Brien's K♥J♦ for a pair of jacks.

On the secondary table, Maria Lampropulos could be seen making her way to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alexandra O'Brien	55,000 30,000	30,000
Georgina James	22,000 -12,600	-12,600

Maria Lampropulos	Busted

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Judy Whitlow moved all in for 9,200 from under the gun, Vanessa Kade called in the cutoff and Jen Shahade, in the small blind, moved all in. Kade folded.

Judy Whitlow: A♦Q♦ All in
Jen Shahade: A♥K♥

The flop landed J♥K♠6♥ giving Whitlow a gutshot, however, Shahade's flush draw slimmed Whitlow's chances of completing it. The K♣ turn and 9♣ river improved Shahade to trips, sending Whitlow to the rail.

"I'm coming back," Whitlow told the table, "I'm not done!".

Player	Chips	Progress
Jen Shahade	70,000 -230,000	-230,000

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Maria Lampropulos moved all in for around 13,000 from the cutoff. Judy Whitlow, on the button, called off the bet for her effective stack of 3,100.

Judy Whitlow: K♦K♠ All in
Maria Lampropulos: A♥6♣

Whitlow's short stack woke up with kings. The Q♣5♥10♠7♦3♣ runout didn't provide Lampropulos with an ace, ensuring Whitlow's double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Maria Lampropulos	11,000 -34,000	-34,000
Judy Whitlow	8,900 -43,100	-43,100

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Charlie Waters rasied to 2,500 from the cutoff, Marle Spragg called on the button and both Alexandra O'Brien and Jennifer Steele defended in the respective blinds.

The A♠8♥J♠ flop saw the action check to Waters, who continued for 5,500. Only O'Brien called.

The 5♥ turn saw O'Brien play in flow. Waters placed a bet large enough to put O'Brien all in for her effective stack of approximately 25,000. O'Brien was forced to fold.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jennifer Steele	130,000 50,500	50,500
Charlie Waters	74,000 -21,000	-21,000
Marle Spragg	38,000 -24,700	-24,700

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was caught as three players were navigating a board of J♠4♦9♦A♠.

Soraya Estrada, in the big blind, checked the action to Ivonne Montealegre, in middle position. Montealegre bet out 6,000 and Georgina James, in the hijack, raised to 14,000. Estrada folded and Montealegre moved all in for 44,500. James called.

Ivonne Montealegre: 4♣4♠ All in
Georgina James: A♦6♦

Montealegre was ahead with a set, but James had outs to a flush. The 7♣ saw Montealegre's set stay best and she found a big double up.
