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.

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.

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.
