We walked over to Erica Schoenberg's table to see that she was in the middle of a decent sized pot as they went to the flop. Lisa Ahumada was all in preflop and was called by Schoenberg and Deborah Osborne. The board ran out , and the players checked it down until the river, when Osborne shoved. Schoenberg gave her hand up, and Osborne flipped up a monster, as she had in her hand for top set. Ahumada mucked, and Osborne scored the knockout, upping her stack to 52,000.
From middle position, Gina Hecht moved all-in for 14,200 pre-flop and the action folded to Laura Desantis who re-raised all in from the cutoff. The action folded to Deborah Worley-Roberts in the big blind, who shook her head and grimaced as she looked down at her cards.
"Do I really want to do this three-handed?" she asked herself. After another minute or so, she reluctantly let go of her hand.
Desantis:
Hecht:
Despite pairing up on the board of , Desantis' overpair was best and Hecht was sent to the rail. Desantis is now on more than 55,000 in chips.
Amanda Sizemore opened for 4,300 from under-the-gun and found one caller in Alexandra Petitjean from the cutoff. Everyone else folded.
The flop came and Sizemore checked, prompting a 5,700 bet from Petitjean. Sizemore deliberated for a bit and then announced, "I'm all in," for a bit over 30,000. Petitijean quickly called for her remaining chips and saw the bad news.
Petitjean: for an over-pair and an open-ender.
Sizemore: for the flopped straight.
The turn a river left Sizemore with a higher straight and Petitjean was eliminated.
Karen Fisher is now up to almost 128,000 in chips after eliminating Elena Tkacheva.
All the money was in the middle before the flop; Tkacheva had got her money in good with , but it wasn't good enough - not by a long shot - because Fisher had woken up with !
The board was spread and Fisher's two pair was best to make Tkacheva go bye-bye.
We caught up with the action just as Marsha Wolak and Tracy Rouse were getting it all in preflop. We are being told the two got into a raising war with Wolak being the first to go all in. Rouse made the call.
Rouse:
Wolak:
The board was no help to Rouse and she had no choice but to hit the rail.
