Flaherty Gone

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

A new player has joined Table 8 and in one of their first hands they eliminated Brian Flaherty. The flop was {6-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Spades} and Flaherty moved all in with {a-Spades}{10-Spades}. Astonishingly the new player called with {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for a better ace-high with no draw and held when the turn and river came {k-Clubs}, {6-Hearts} respectively.

Hall Forced to Fold Again

Level 16 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

A player open-shoved from early position and the action folded all the way to Ruth Hall in the big blind. She tanked for a long time before asking her opponent if he would show if she folded. He nodded, "yes," and she mucked her hand.

Her opponent tabled {a-}{k-} and Hall was pleased with her decision.
