O'Brien Obliterates Smith

Lana O'Brien has now increased her stack to more than 11,000 after eliminating Jason Smith, one of the handful of male players that remain in this tournament.

All the money was in the middle before the flop; Smith had moved the last of his stack into the middle with {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts} but O'Brien was well ahead holding {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

The dealer spread the board of {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{J-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and the ladies gave him a send-off which we're sure is still ringing in his ears.

As another player said to our PokerNews reporter on the scene: "Let his Momma know what he's doin' today, 'cause if it was me, I'd be embarrassed!" Duly noted!
