Tanya Gawarecki Grabs the Pot

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player in middle position raised to 900 and the big blind shoved all-in for his last 1,100 chips. Tanya Gawarecki made the call, as did one other player.

The flop rolled out {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Gawarecki instantly slid her stack of 4,500 into the middle. The other two players folded and Gawarecki tabled her {6-Spades}{7-Spades} for two-pair on the flop. The all-in player held {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades} and was hoping to hit a queen or a nine in order to survive.

The turn and river brought the {A-Spades} and the {5-Diamonds} respectively, eliminating the all-in player and padding Gawarecki's stack to a little over 8,000.
