Steward Survives to the Money
Two player needed to bust before the money and players were in hand for hand. Katherine Stewart was forced all in from the small blind with 2,000 chips. Daria Ivantey was on the button and limped, Gloria Davila checked from the big blind, and the players went three ways to the flop.
The board came 2♠J♣6♦ and the two non-all-in players checked the 3♥ and J♦ to showdown.
Katherine Stewart: Q♣6♣
Daria Ivantey: 7♦10♦
Gloria Davila: A♥7♥
Stewart was good with her six and gasped as she realized she had won the pot. She commented, “Thank you six, only in the world series” as she was saved from being the soft bubble and got to stay for another round of hand for hand.
Steward folded through all rounds of hand for hand, and made it into the money.
The first hand after the bubble burst, Laura Westfall raised from the button to 6,000 and got a call from Daria Ivantey in the small blind and Katherine Stewart in the big blind, which put Stewart all in.
The flop came J♦4♦5♦ and both the small blind and button check to the J♥ turn.
Ivantey raised to 8,000 on the turn, prompting Westfall to fold, and the two remaining players flipped their hands.
Katherine Stewart: A♣3♣
Daria Ivantey: J♣8♣
The river came the 10♥ and Ivantey took the pot with trip jacks. Stewart was the first bust in the money, so didn’t leave empty handed. She walked away from the table and took home the $2,006 minimum cash.
