Amanda Leatherman Eliminated

Amanda Leatherman
Amanda Leatherman
Julie Delk limped in from middle position, the small blind completed, Amanda Leatherman moved all in for her remaining 4,000 from the big blind and both Delk and the small blind called. The flop was {10-Clubs} {5-Spades} {3-Spades}. The small blind bet 10,000 and Delk folded.

Leatherman {A-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}

Small Blind {K-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}.

The turn and river blanked out for Leatherman and after surviving almost two whole levels on a very short stack, she was eliminated (much to the disappointment of her Poker News colleagues).

Nice run, Amanda!

Mumford Gets a Cooler

Candida Mumford called a late-position raise from Juli Campos of 6,000. Mumford held the button. The flop was jack-high, {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {9-Clubs}. Campos moved all in and had Mumford covered. Mumford made the call.

Campos: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}
Mumford: {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}

What a flop for these two hands. The turn and river came {5-Hearts}, {4-Spades} to eliminate Mumford.

Campos Ousts Another... and Another!

Under the gun, Liina Vark raised all in to 8,900. Action folded to Juli Campos in the big blind. She studied and then made the call.

Campos held {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} and Vark moved in with {6-Spades} {6-Hearts}.

The flop came {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs}, helping Campos out with more outs. The turn gave her a pair of nines, when the {9-Spades} hit. The river was another seven, the {7-Diamonds} and Vark has been eliminated.

A few hands later, Campos was at it again. This time she took her pocket kings, {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}, up against Karen Black's {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}. The money went all in before the flop and Campos' hand held up on the {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} board. Black was sent home.

This has truly been an amazing run by Campos. She began the day with only 4,400 in chips. Yes, that's not a typo... 4,400. She now has 114,000.

Aimee Logue Eliminated

Donna Delfin limped in from the hijack, Roslyn Quarto raised to 26,000, Aimee Logue called all in and Delfin folded.

Logue {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}

Quarto {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}

The flop was {10-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}, Quarto hitting her set. The turn was the {A-Diamonds} leaving Logue drawing dead and just for good measure, the {10-Spades} rolled off on the river, making Quarto quad tens as Logue hit the rail.

The River Crushes Shilyuk

The cutoff, Jody Phillippo, raised all in preflop. The big blind, Sylvia Shilyuk called from the big blind.

Shilyuk: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Phillippo: {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}

The flop gave Phillippo a straight draw, {8-Spades} {7-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}. The turn gave her more outs when the {10-Spades} was laid on the felt. Shilyuk had one more card to sweat, and then boom... the {6-Diamonds} landed as the last card. Phillippo made her straight and sent Shilyuk to the rail.

Karp Sent Off on a Good Call

Benay Karp put her opponent, Lisa Ahumada, to the test when she moved all in on a flop on {J-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}. The bet was 15,600 for Ahumada to call. She thought and then made the call, with just a pair of fives, {K-Hearts} {5-Spades}. Karp turned over {Q-Spades} {2-Clubs} for bottom pair.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the river the {3-Clubs}. The good call with middle pair held up and Karp was sent to the rail.
