Fatigue Sets In

Eric Hicks raised all in preflop for 163,000. Pia Jeppesen, not realizing that there was any action in front of her, made a standard raise to 50,000. She was forced to complete the call to 163,000. Her {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} was behind Hicks' {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and never caught up.

Jeppesen busted a few hands later when she raised preflop to 45,000 and Melvin Jones called. Jeppesen pushed all in for 240,000 on a {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts} only to be shown the bad news -- Jones had flopped a set of nines and had her {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} crushed. The board ran out {3-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} to send Jeppesen to the rail.

There are no women remaining in the field.
