Lisa Parsons Makes the Right Choice

[user37786]

With the board showing {2-Diamonds}

Justin Scott bet enough to set Lisa Parsons all in. She went into the tank trying to decide whether to call for her tournament life, and at one point during her deliberations a cocktail server came over and tapped her on the shoulder as her coffee was delievered.

She thought a bit more and then finally committed her chips to the pot. "Good call," Scott said as he turned over {6-Hearts}

. Parsons leapt out of her seat and slammed her {K-Diamonds}

down on the felt as she won the pot and doubled up.

Young Out

Shamus

Young couldn't improve, and he's out. Renz is up to 330,000.

Nathan Mullen Eliminated

[user25067]

Allen Carter opened for 13,500, Nathan Mullen moved all in for 110,000 from late position and Carter made the call. It was a classic race situation with the players holding:

Mullen {A-Hearts}

Carter

The flop was {K-Diamonds}

, giving the lead to Mullen, and the {10-Hearts}

on the turn gave him a flush draw to boot. However, the {Q-Hearts}

spiked on the river, making Carter queens full and eliminating Mullen in a rather cruel fashion.

Morton Antonsen Eliminated

[user37786]

Hasan Habib opened the action by raising to 16,500 and Morton Antonsen moved in for his last 37,000. Noah Kawashige then moved all in himself and Habib got out of the way. Antonsen learned that he'd run his {A-Spades}

into Kawashige's {A-Diamonds}

and when the board ran out {2-Spades}

Antonsen was eliminated.
