Kathy Liebert Eliminated

Kathy Liebert
Kathy Liebert
Kathy Liebert was crippled on one hand when her opponent beat her with a straight holding {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. She had slipped to 10K.

A couple of hands later, she made a move with {A-Hearts}{6-Spades} and unfortunately ran into a player with {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. Her hand could not improve on a board of {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and she headed to the rail.

A short-stacked Jennifer Harman moved all in on a flop of {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, holding {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and was called by Deanna Duzier who showed {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}. The {4-Clubs} on the turn gave Harman a couple of additional outs, but the river blanked off, and she was eliminated from the tournament.

Tom Franklin Doubles Up

Captain Tom Franklin had the kind of restart he was hoping for when he doubled up first hand after the break. He had to do it the hard way too, as his {K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} was way behind his opponent's {K-Spades}{J-Spades}. However a flop of {4-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} put him in front, the {7-Diamonds} on the turn kept him there and the {2-Spades} on the river meant it was all smooth sailing for the Captain.

Here Comes the Ante

We've lost 411 players since the start of the day, or about 27 percent of the day's field. Action should certainly accelerate in the post-dinner hours, especially given the introduction of antes to play. While the cost per round in the 200-400 level was 600 per player, that number jumps to 1,100 in this level.
