Oanh Bui Loses One

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Lindsay Kido raised to 1,700 from the under-the-gun position. Oanh Bui called, and the player in the small blind called, as well.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. The player in the small blind led out for 1,700, Kido folded, and Bui called. The turn brought them a {7-}. The small blind bet 3,200, Bui raised to 8,500, and the player in the small blind called. Another {7-} on the river completed the board. The player in the small blind check-called the bet of 6,500 from Bui.

Bui showed {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a straight, but the player in the small blind showed {10-}{7-} off-suit for a full house.

Amber Chatwin Summons a Six, Eliminates Opponent

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player in middle position raised to 2,000, Amber Chatwin called, and the cutoff went all in for 6,000. The initial raiser folded, and Chatwin called.

Chatwin: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
All-in player: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}

The flop came {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades}, and Chatwin told her opponent, "Nice hand."

The turn was the {5-Spades}, and Chatwin announced, "Six!"

Just then, the deal burned and put out the {6-Diamonds} on the river. Chatwin gasped, and her opponent made her exit as she took down the pot with the rivered set.

Amanda Sizemore Gives Up on the River

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Parm Mehmi raised to 2,000 under the gun and was called by the player in the next position and Amanda Sizemore, on the button.

The flop came {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts}, and all three players checked. On the {4-Clubs} turn, it checked to Sizemore on the button, and she bet 4,000. Mehmi called, and the remaining player folded. It was heads-up to the {3-Clubs} river. Mehmi checked, and Sizemore checked back.

Mehmi tabled {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for a pair of fours and ace-jack high. Sizemore showed {A-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a worse ace-high and told Mehmi, "You were going to look me up on the river anyway."

Mehmi took the pot, though Sizemore is still at the top of the counts after that setback.

Natalie Saether Knocks One Out

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

The player in the under-the-gun position raised to 3,500. A player in middle position shoved all in. Annette Obrestad, in the hijack, took some time to think and then reluctantly folded. Natalie Saether, in the cutoff, also took some time to consider her options, and in the end, she decided to shove all in, too. The player in the under-the-gun position folded.

Middle position: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Natalie Saether: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{A-Clubs} to give Saether trip aces with a king kicker and the pot.

Simon Després In and Out

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Simon Després was the only male to enter the tournament today, paying $10,000 for that privilege. He did register late (with about 10 big blinds left) but wasn't really welcomed by the participants already in the field.

When he busted just after the dinner break, the loud cheers could be heard from most of the other participants in the field. Unfortunately, we have no details about his bust out hand.

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Three players put in 1,500 preflop, and the flop came {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

Deardorff checked, Sterner bet 5,500, and after a long pause, Deardorff raised to 16,000. Sterner committed her remaininig 16,100, and they showed down.

Sterner: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Deardorff: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Sterner's kings were ahead, and they held up on the {5-Diamonds} river. She doubled up, and Deardorff took a small hit to her big stack.
