Mari Lou Morelli opened to 75,000 with Lori Bender making the call.

The flop fell down {8-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Bender lead out for 125,000. Morelli thought for a little before pushing all in for 60,000 more. "I priced myself in," commented Bender before making the call to see the cards tabled.

Bender: {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Morelli: {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}

With Morelli in the lead, she looked in great shape to double when the {7-Spades} fell on the turn. Needing to avoid any jack, nine, eight or six to stay alive, the unfortunate {9-Spades} would fall to see her exit the tournament with a $78,132 payday.
