Beverly Lange Planning on Gathering Chips

Beverly Lange, an event planner from outside of Austin, TX, is one of the few remaining female players left in this field. This is Lange's first World Series, and she made of point of emphasizing how much she appreciates the WSOP staff's organization and ability to keep everything running smoothly. As an event planner, she likes to see things well-run. Lange has been running well at the table as well, and is steadily accumulating chips. According to one of her tablemates, bracelet winner Larry Wright, Lange doesn't like to be pushed around, and when she's in a hand she's usually the one pushing the action. After watching Lange for awhile, we can verify that Wright has a good read on Lange, and we watched her increase her stack-size by about 20% in a few recent hands.

In the first, Lange raised under the gun to 8,000, then faced a re-raise to 16,000. She then four-bet to 25,000, and her opponent folded.

On the next hand, Lange called a bet to 8,000 from the big blind. The flop came , and both players checked. They checked again when the hit the felt on the turn, and a completed the board on the river. Lange bet out for 10,000, and elicited a call. She turned over for a wheel, and her opponent mucked.
