Calling Shavonne Mitchell

donpeters

Our chip leader from day one, Shavonne Mitchell, must think her 94,000 chips are enough to warrant some extra time. Or maybe she wants to make an entrance. Either way, Mitchell has still yet to show up to day two and will be blinded and anted off until she arrives. Her bag sits propped on the table, ripped open so that the dealer can reach in and grab out chips as play orbits.

Enter Shavonne

[user25067]

Shavonne Mitchell did indeed make quite an entrance, striding into the tournament area atop sky-high heels about 20 minutes into play. She's hard to miss, cutting a statuesque figure in a bright yellow halter dress with a crystal belt.

Nancy Todd Tyner, the WPT Ladies Champion, moved all in on the flop of {10-Spades}

. She was called by Sue Porter's {K-Hearts}

. Tyner held {10-Diamonds}

The turn came the {2-Spades}

and the river a meaningless {9-Hearts}

to send Tyner to the rail early on day two.

Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Barry Greenstein just stopped by the ladies tournament to check on his friend Linda Johnson. He wished her good luck with a hug and then dashed off to return to his own tournament table.
