Three More Fall, Ross-Powers Rises
The bustouts keep coming… and quick. A short-stacked Judy Smith just went out in 30th, followed by Marcia Paulson who was eliminated in 29th after a hand versus Jamie Kerstetter.
Then came a three-way hand between Myra Thompson (small blind), Candida Ross-Powers (big blind), and Erica Schoenberg (cutoff). The trio together had together made it to the turn with the board showing 
, and when it checked to Schoenberg she bet and both of her opponents called.
The river then brought the 
, pairing the board and bringing a third spade, and it checked again to Schoenberg. This time she shoved the rest of her chips — 33,000 total — and both of her opponents called once more.
Ross-Powers then tabled 
for trip aces, and both Thompson and Schoenberg mucked, the latter going out in 28th. Like the previous eight players eliminated, Schoenberg takes away $4,305.
