Stokes Loses Out to Kling

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Chris Stokes raised to 6,500 from the small blind and Lauren Kling called from the big blind.

The dealer spread the {5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} flop and Stokes initially checked, Kling bet 7,500 and Stokes check-raised to 21,000 and Kling called. That was the last of the betting action because both players checked the {9-Diamonds} and the {K-Spades} on the turn and river. Kling showed {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and her pair of jacks were good because Stokes folded.

Stokes has since used the MyStack App to update his chip count to zero.

Wilks Backdoors Reisner

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Justin Wilks and Michael Reisner were heads up on a flop of {j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. We missed the action but all the chips were in the middle, Reisner had Wilks covered, and their cards were face up.

Reisner: {9-}{9-}
Wilks: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Reisner had Wilks drawing very thin, needing running cards to stay alive. The {a-Clubs} on the turn gave Wilks a bit of life, now with a four-outter on the river. Wilks' miracle card would come as the dealer flipped over the {a-Diamonds}, giving him a full house, and he scored a massive double up

Sharp Can't Cut It With Berger

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Cynthia Sharp was all-in for 50,000 from middle position and at risk of elimination. The action folded to Seth Berger in the small blind and he moved all-in, too. The big blind folded ad both Berger and Sharp revealed their hands.

Sharp: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Berger: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

Berger took the lead on the {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop and stayed there on the {Q-Spades} turn. Berger then hit a third ace when the {A-Clubs} completed the board and with that Sharp was sent to the payout desk, where Eddie Blumenthal was registering his details having busted moments earlier.

Sharp's exit leaves Lauren Kling as the sole female player in Event #31.

Friedman Knocks Out Pritchard

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Jason Pritchard has been eliminated.
Jason Pritchard has been eliminated.

The beginning-of-day chip leader has met his demise in this event. Jason Pritchard began the day with the biggest mound of chips and built it up throughout the day, but he just lost his stack to Perry Friedman, another player with a consistently-large stack since the beginning of the day.

The two of them got it all in preflop and we had a race.

Pritchard: {7-}{7-}
Friedman: {a-}{k-}

It looked as though Pritchard's pair would hold up, but a king fell on the river and Pritchard was eliminated.
