Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

We caught up with a disappointed but philosophical Katie Lindsay at the payout desk having just been eliminated in creditable 67th place.

Having been well placed earlier in the day Lindsay went card dead and as the blinds crept up she lost a series of 60:40 situations which left her with 5 big blinds that went in the middle with Ace-Five. Lindsay was called by a player holding Queens and with no help from the deck that was the end if he Colossal adventure.
