Dworski Doubles Once, Then Slips Under

Qualifier Annette Dworski drew a first-round opponent with plenty of success in this tournament, Chris Ferguson. Ferguson quickly took a chip lead on Dworski and kept pounding away. Dworski made a small double-up by out-flopping Ferguson's {K-Diamonds} {8-Spades} with {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts}, but she was soon all in and behind a second time.

Dworski shoved {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} and was called by Ferguson with {Q-Spades} {3-Diamonds}. Neither player connected in any way with a board of {K-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {10-Spades} {2-Hearts}. Queen-high was enough for Ferguson to cinch the victory.
