Svendsen Bubbles After All

To enormous and frankly rather shrill cheering from our remaining 117 runners, we are in the money.

After recovering up to nearly three big blinds, Katja Svendsen got her last in with pocket {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}, but got looked up by Adeline Bui holding pocket {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}. A completely eightless {A-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {9-Spades} {3-Spades} {A-Spades} board later and it was the end-sen for Svendsen.

Oops

India - hilarious joker
India - hilarious joker
Breaktime apologies to Ms India Storrar -- she was spotted at the rail telling her boyfriend Nik Persaud that she was out, but it turns out that she was merely nipping out for a cigarette and told him that as a joke. She is in fact firmly in the money, and is sitting on around 40,000 in chips.

Schoenberg and Fried

Schoenberg Schoen-bust
Schoenberg Schoen-bust
Erica Schoenberg is one of our early in-the-money casualties. She got it in with {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} against Lisa Parsons' {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds} and managed to make a broadway straight, but Parsons made a full house and out went Schoenberg.

Board: {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {8-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

Sandy Turns to Dust

Also gone is Sandy Kasinowicz -- she got it in from late position with a speculative {4-Spades} {5-Spades}, but an opponent woke up with pocket nines and Kasinowicz failed to improve.

The Hardisty They Fall

Also busto is Katarina Hardisty. She got it in thoroughly ahead with pocket {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} against Deb Blair's pocket {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}, and the poker gods made her wait until the river for the dirty suckout.

Board: {6-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {6-Spades} {9-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

Blair is up to a very comfortable 56,000.

Brown is the New Black

Collette Brown is having an excellent day -- she's up to 90,000 after knocking out Maria Kalantzi.

Brown made it 4,000 under the gun and Kalantzi flatted; come the flop Brown bet another 4,000 and called the 18,500 push from Kalantzi to send her to the rail.

Kalantzi: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}
Brown: {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}

Board: {10-Clubs} {6-Spades} {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}

Vull-Over the Moon

Tracy Vullo, down to 6,400, got it in from the cutoff and found a caller in the big blind. Luckily she was in possession of a premium hand, said hand held up nicely, and Vullo is up to 14,000.

Vullo: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
Big blind: {A-Clubs} {3-Spades}

Board: {Q-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts}
