Roller Coaster for Logue

Aimee Logue opened up with an all-in bet. She was called by a shorter stack out of the blinds. Logue showed {A-Spades} {K-Spades} and her opponent held {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. The flop kept Logue in the lead, {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {3-Clubs}.

The turn brought a third club, giving Logue's opponent more outs. Logue was then clubbed again on the river and lost a lot of her stack. She was down to only a few thousand after this hand.

On the next hand, Logue was in the big blind. She had a good amount of her chips already committed from the blind and ante. She decided she couldn't pass this hand up and called all in after an opponent raised from early position. Logue held {A-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} and her opponent held {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}.

The flop contained an ace and the turn came a three, giving Logue two pair. She needed to dodge a seven on the river and did so, doubling back up to around 10,000.

Amanda Leatherman

Stella Su moved all in for only 1,500 chips from early position. Amanda Leatherman moved all in as well with her final 3,500 chips. The small blind folded and Kathy Liebert decided she was priced in to try and eliminate two players, so she made the call as well.

Liebert: {7-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}
Leatherman: {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}
Su: {A-Spades} {7-Clubs}

Leatherman had the best hand going in and on the flop it got even better... {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}. She wasn't out of the water yet, as Liebert did have a gutshot straight-flush draw. The turn was the {3-Hearts} and the river the {A-Diamonds}, allowing Leatherman to eliminate one opponent, Su, and triple her stack to 11,000.

Mindy Ritchie Eliminated

Patty Till just claimed another victim... and in quite a sick manner.

Till raised to 5,000 from UTG and Mindy Ritchie called from the small blind. The flop was {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {2-Spades}, Ritchie moved all in for 10,000 and Till insta-called.

Ritchie {2-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}

Till {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

Though Ritchie had flopped deuces full of threes, the {3-Hearts} arrived on the turn, making Till threes full of queens. The river was the {J-Spades} and the pot was pushed Till's way. It took Ritchie nearly a minute to realize what had happened and she hit the rail, completely stunned.

Another One for Logue

Aimee Logue found her chips in the middle once again. This time she held {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}. Anh Le called her after raising with the {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs}.

Flop: {10-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}
Turn: {A-Spades}
River: {2-Diamonds}

Logue was able to double back up again and now has right around 30,000. It's been an up and down ride for her so far today and she hopes to keep on the upswing from now on. Le is down to 38,000.

Montizanti Crippled, Then Out... Johnson Hurt

In blind versus blind action, Xiu Men Song and Elizabeth Montizanti found all their money in the middle. Song was the one at risk, but held the better hand.

Montizanti: {A-?} {6-?}
Song: {A-?} {Q-?}

The board ran out {K-?} {8-?} {4-?} {7-?} {2-?} and Montizanti's all in move crippled her, leaving her with just 2,300 left and she'd be in the small blind next hand.

On her small blind, Montizanti had a lot of action occur before it even got to her. Vesenia Garcia moved all in from middle position and then Linda Johnson did the same from the cutoff. Montizanti decided she would have her best odds here and put the rest of her chips in.

Johnson: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}
Montizanti: {10-Clubs} {4-Spades}
Garcia: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}

The flop came {Q-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {2-Hearts} and then the {A-Hearts} slapped on the turn, much to Johnson's displeasure. The river was another queen, the {Q-Spades}.

Johnson dropped down to 15,000 and Garcia doubled up. Montizanti was eliminated.
