I Am Woman
Annie Duke is still alive with a shot at winning this bracelet, and she has gotten here in fine fashion. Since the start of play yesterday, she has never really had a big stack to play with. She has nursed her chips though, holding them tightly while awaiting favorable opportunities.
Just in recent moments, she won a couple nice pots and has chipped up to 185,000. For the first time in hours, she has finally climbed back up over her brother, Howard Lederer. That stack puts her third in the counts, and if she can continue to be stubborn with her chips, she may well find herself still fighting deep into tomorrow.
A Decision to Be Made
It appears that the staff is going to hold a vote when we reach 16 players remaining. Majority rules, and if the players want to go home, we'll call it a night. If not, we'll play on until the final eight are set, regardless of how long it takes.
We reporters vote for sleep.
