Facing a raise under the gun to 900, a call from late position and then a three-bet to 3,600 from the small blind, Lisa Hamilton made it 10,900 from the big blind.
The original raiser moved all in for 13,300 and once the call and three-better folded, Hamilton made the call.

Opponent:
Apart from a slight sweat on the river when it fell paint, the board fell fairly dry as it was spread to see Hamilton double her opponent up while slipping to just 3,600 in chips.
A number of Team PokerStars pros came out for Day 1b, with several having already left us. Among those not making it through to tomorrow's Day 2 are Grayson Physioc, Darus Suharto, Chad Brown, Nichoel Peppe, Pat Pezzin, and Chris Moneymaker.
We do still have a few in the field, however. George "Jorj95" Lind of Team PokerStars Online has been thriving all day and presently sits with a well above average stack of 38,500. Florian Langmann of Team Poker Stars Germany is doing well, too, with 19,000. And South African Raymond Rahme has about 8,500 as we approach the end of Level 8.
We are unsure exactly of how the betting action and amounts fell, but we found Amanda Musumeci all in on the button against Anthony Gargano in the small blind.
Musumeci:
Gargano:
The board ran out to see Musumeci eliminated as Gargano climbs to 48,000 in chips.
Yuval Bronshtein opened from under the gun with a raise to 2,300, and the player sitting to his left reraised to 6,000. It folded around to George Lind who called from the small blind. The big blind folded, then Bronshtein reshoved all in. The UTG+1 player called, and Lind got out.
Bronshtein showed while his opponent tabled . The community cards came , and Bronshtein's hand was best.
He's chipped up to 53,000 now and is among our leaders for Day 1b. Lind still has nearly 30,000.
"Attention players in Event #54, the $1K no-limit hold'em... you now have a clock!"
So came the announcement just a moment ago. Event #56 has now gone on dinner break, which has freed up the screens surrounding our event. So now we get to follow an Event #54 clock.
We'd been playing without a visible clock since well before dinner, so our players showed their appreciation of having a way to see how much time is left in the level and how many players remain with a small cheer.
We appreciate it, too. There are 41 minutes left in Level 8. And 370 players (from Day 1b) remain. (Hooray.)
"Did you just know it was going to flop?" asked one player to another.
Player . . . lets call him Johnny Tran . . . raised and then called all in holding against a player . . . lets call him Thomas MacDougall . . . who three-bet shoved holding .
The final board of would ensure the double for Tran as MacDougall looked absolutely flabbergasted with what just went down before his eyes.
We at PokerNews can't detail the whereabouts of where Tran attained the Event #54 flop schedule, so instead we're going to say it was due to the massage he was getting.
So the result? If you can't get the daily flop schedule, find a masseuse now!
Yueqi Zhu is here. That's the Zhu whose high point this WSOP was a third-place finish in Event #25, the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better Championship, and whose low point was the disqualification from Event #53, the $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout.
Zhu still has chips in this one, although a recent bit tangling by Zhu with our leader Andrew Talbot almost sent him to the rail just a short while ago.
Talbot had opened with a raise to 675, and Zhu reraised all in with his last 3,750. Talbot called, showing . Zhu turned over .
The board came , and Zhu doubled to about 8,000. Talbot still has about 53,000.
