Cate Hall Makes a Calculated Call
Level 10
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
With about 100,000 in the pot already, on a board reading 
, Cate Hall was in the hijack and checked to Alexander Turyansky in the cutoff.
Turyanksy bet 85,000, which was most of Hall's remaining stack.
Hall, who has been vocal on Twitter about her commitment to the game, putting in many hours of study-time, analyzed her opponent carefully and was clearly weighing all of her options. Eventually, she called.
Turyansky rapped the table in defeat, tabling pocket fives. Hall revealed 
for a pair of aces and raked in the pot.
Hall is currently the last woman standing in this field, as Kristen Bicknell and Maria Ho were recently eliminated, following Xuan Liu to the rail.
