Lindley's Run Ends

Christina Lindley
Christina Lindley

Christina Lindley has been playing a short stack all day, having barely survived the bubble bursting earlier in the afternoon. Meanwhile Ben Alcober has been on Lindley's left all day. Alcober was the first player to 1 million on Day 3, and entered today with nearly 790,000. He's struggled on Day 4 and had a below average stack himself when the following hand took place.

It folded around to Lindley in the small blind who checked her cards then set out her remaining stack of about 85,000. Alcober then checked his and announced a call. Lindley had {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and would need help against Alcober's {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. But the board came {J-Spades}{8-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Hearts}, and Lindley is out, around 300 other players having cashed before she finally ran out of chips.
