Cranford Can't Be Stopped

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Christy Cranford has been steadily chipping up throughout the day, and she just took another pot that has given her the chip lead with 41 players left. Cranford raised under the gun to 5,800, and action folded around to Amanda Musumeci in the small blind, who went all in for 26,500. The big blind folded, and Cranford slowly counted out the chips for the call. After flipping them around in her hand for a bit, she dropped them into the pot, signifying a call.

Cranford: {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Musumeci: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Cranford was far behind, but that didn't last long, as she jumped into the lead on a flop of {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Musumeci needed one of two eights left, but she didn't get it on the turn, the {j-Hearts}, or the river, the {10-Hearts}. Cranford scooped the pot, upping her stack to 180,000.
