Other women began to whisper to each other and turn their heads to see Doyle. Must be good to be the king.

The UTG player raised, Elizabeth Sissom moved the rest of her chips in preflop from late position and was called. Sissom's {K-Spades}

, and the river was a particularly cruel {K-Hearts}

, making Sissom kings full of aces, bested by her opponent's aces full of queens.

Anna Wroblewski and Vanessa Rousso have been battling all day since moving to the same table. The players had another action pot when the board read K-6-3-K-7. Rousso put all her money in on the river and Wroblewski said, "I know you have sixes, or sevens, or K-Q, or whatever... but I call."

Rousso turned over 6-6 for a full house and has eliminated Wroblewski. Rousso has 5,200 in chips.
