McDonald, Denny's, or Carl's Jr???

[user42991]

It is now a little after 5 a.m. in the morning and we still have two more players to eliminate before we have our final table of nine. The question soon will be, where do we have breakfast?

(For those of you on the east coast of the United States reading this, Carl's Jr is the west-coast equivalent of Hardee's.)

Shirley Graham Eliminated in 14th Place ($11,143)

[user42991]

Before the hand, there was a dealer change. Shirley Graham looked over to someone in the crowd and whispered, "I'm gone." From the crowd we could overhead, "She doesn't like that dealer."

Three people limped in to Graham on the button, who made it two bets to go. She received three callers. The flop was {7-Clubs}

and it was checked around. The turn was the {J-Spades}

. One of the middle-position players bet and the other two called. The river was the {K-Diamonds}

, which was checked around. George Guzman jumped up and said, "I got lucky!" and showed {A-Diamonds}

for the nut straight. He continued to say, "I got lucky" as Graham showed the {A-Spades}

. She mucked the other two cards.

Graham told the floorman, "Pay me my money so I can go home."

Shirley Graham was our last woman standing today.
