Elizabeth Taking Things Slow

Shannon Elizabeth, during Event #47
Shannon Elizabeth, during Event #47
Shannon Elizabeth is off to a solid start to the day after catching a couple of nice flops. Elizabeth called bets on the flop and turn, before checking down the river on a board of {J-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{A-Spades}. Elizabeth showed down {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for two pair to take down the pot against an opponent's {Q-?}{9-?}.

She then followed that up by flopping trips with {A-Clubs}{9-Hearts} on a board of {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Elizabeth checked the flop, raised the turn and then checked down the river. Her opponent showed only {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a missed draw.

Elizabeth looks content to play small-ball poker as she moves up to 21,500.
