Faber’s Elimination Escorted with Applause

Action was caught on the flop of Q♦9♥3♣. Bracelet-winner Susan Faber was first to act, putting in the last of her chips. She was quickly called by her opponent in the hand, Dennis Stevermer, who was in middle position.

Susan Faber: 9♠8♠ All in
Dennis Stevermer: K♥K♦

Faber’s good-looking hand was good for second pair, but she needed help against Stevermer’s kings. However, the turn came the 6♥ and the 7♣, respectively, and Faber did not improve. Faber had made quite an impression with her table mates, who made it clear it was a pleasure playing with her and even gave her a round of applause as she left the tournament area.
