Birnbaum Drags a Nice Pot

Level 3 : 50/100, 0 ante

With four players in the hand and a flop of {9-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}, the blinds checked to Nancy Birnbaum and she promptly bet all in for 1,300, though she still had one rebuy lammer behind. The cutoff quickly folded, the small blind called and the big got out of the way.

Birnbaum: {8-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Small Blind: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Birnbaum got it in good with trip eights, but her opponent held both straight and flush outs. The {7-Diamonds} turn actually improved Birnbaum to a straight, while the {8-Diamonds} river gave her quads!

Meanwhile, both Kathy Liebert and Scott Clements were eliminated on the other side of the Silver Section.
