Williams Can't Dodge Tens

Shirley Williams - Day 1
Shirley Williams - Day 1
Shirley Williams did everything right on her final hand of the tournament. When a player in early position raised to 2,000 and Williams looked down at {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts}, she reraised to 4,500. Action folded back to the original raiser, who made it 12,000 to go. Williams quickly put in the rest of her chips (about 14,000 total) and her opponent made the call with {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}.

Things looked good for Williams on a flop {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}, but then the turn was a very ugly {10-Diamonds}, drawing a sigh of disgust from Williams. No ace for her when the river fell {5-Clubs}.

"What can you do?" said Williams with a laugh. "Oh well."

She picked up her bag and got out of her chair, then looked down at the board one more time. "Wow," she said, shaking her head. "I played four hands, and three were aces."
