Mary Jones Eliminated

We may have spoken too soon about Mary Jones' chances for a bracelet in this event. In the span of two hands, she went from chip leader to eliminated. First, she and Ray Foley got all of the chips on the middle on a flop of {2-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}. Mary had the overpair, {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}; Foley had the two-overcard flush draw, {A-Clubs} {k-Clubs}. The {3-Spades} changed nothing, but the {j-Clubs} made Foley's flush. That hand pushed Foley to 1.1 million and left Jones with about 150,000.

Shortly thereafter, Foley and Jones tangled again, this time with Jones moving all in preflop. Strangely, the hands were almost the same -- {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} for Jones and {A-Spades} {K-Spades} for Foley! Foley's Big Slick won again on a board of {K-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {2-Spades}. He got the rest of Jones' chips to climb to 1.25 million, while Jones got a purple payout slip and headed to the payout table.
