Showdown
Karschamroon:
Nunes:
Nunes knelt on her chair with her head down, her lips moving as she asked the poker gods to save her tournament life. Her cries would fall on deaf ears, though, as the flop crushed her pocket pair to leave her dead to the two-outer. The turn was no change, and the river was close but no cigar for the lady.
It was a fine run for the mother of four boys here in Rincon, but Nunes' day has been cut short in seventh place. That's good for more than $10,000 and her largest cash by far.
Karschamroon is really taking control of this table, now holding nearly a third of the chips in play. He's got about 1.125 million by our count.
