Celina Lin Eliminated

Celina Lin and an opponent got it all in on a flop of {6-Spades} {6-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}. Lin held {K-?} {K-?} and was dismayed to see her opponent roll over {2-?} {6-?} for trips. The turn and river blanked out and Lin was left with only 2,000 in chips.

On the next hand she moved in preflop with {A-Spades} {8-Hearts} and was called by {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. The flop was {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {3-Spades}, giving her the lead. The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, but the {Q-Diamonds} fell cruelly on the river, ending Lin's tournament just short of the money.

Evelyn Ng Takes a Hit

Evelyn Ng
Evelyn Ng
Evelyn Ng took her {K-?} {K-?} up against an opponent's all in with {10-?} {10-?} preflop, but the {10-?} {7-?} {6-?} flop dashed her hopes of a chip infusion as we approach the bubble. The turn was a {Q-?}, the river an {8-?} and Ng shipped 11,000 across the table, leaving her with 26,000 in her stack.

A Full Boat for Quarto

Roz Quarto raised to 4,700 and Nancy Todd Tyner called. When the flop came {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, bet 6,000 in hopes of taking the pot right there. Quarto called. The turn was the {J-Clubs} and again Tyner led out. This time for 10,000. Quarto moved all in, Tyner called. Quarto showed pocket sevens, for sevens full. Tyner turned over {9-Spades} {9-Hearts}.

The river was the {4-Spades} to grant Quarto the massive pot on the bubble. Tyner is down to 36,000 while Quarto is up to 58,000.

The Wrath of Evelyn

We just checked with Evelyn Ng's table and on the bubble, just after she lost a big pot having her pocket kings cracked, she went on a rampage. She won a race to bust a player with pocket nines when the opponent held {A-?} {Q-?} .

She then flopped quads on an {8-?} {8-?} {3-?} flop and was paid off by {Q-?} {Q-?}.

She wasn't done there. She sensed her opponents were tightening up on the bubble and she attacked the blinds and antes for a few more hands after. In the process, Ng's stack skyrocketed to over 70,000.
