    Lana Maier - 10th Place
    Lana Maier - 10th Place

    Lana Maier Eliminated in 10th Place ($19,265)

    Hold'em:

    It's all over for Lana Maier. She got her last 50,000 chips in preflop against Shannon Shorr. Shorr tabled {3-Clubs} {3-Spades} against Maier's {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}. The window card was the {Q-Clubs}, with the {8-Clubs} and {5-Diamonds} underneath it. Maier had to duck just two cards on the river after the turn fell {10-Spades}, but she couldn't do it. The river fell {3-Hearts} to knock Maier out in 10th place. She earns $19,265.

    With that elimination, we will collapse to a nine-handed final table.

    Maier May Need Life Support

    Hold'em:

    Brian Malcolm raised from under the gun and then Lana Maier reraised. Malcolm came back over the top for a four-bet and then Maier asked if she could raise again. She was told she could and then made it five bets to go. Malcolm called.

    The flop came down {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {2-Clubs} and Malcolm bet out. Maier flung her cards into the muck saying, "Good flop for my hand."

    Maier is now down to about 50,000 chips.

    Another Blow for Maier

    Hold'em:

    Lana Maier has been on an extended downswing the last twenty or thirty minutes, and it doesn't seem the break did anything to change it. In position, she bet a flop of {5-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {k-Clubs}, then three-bet after Bryan Micon check-raised. Micon called that bet, check-called the {J-Spades} turn, and check-called the {A-Hearts} river.

    "I have a busted straight draw," announced Maier at showdown.

    Micon turned up {K-Hearts} {9-Clubs} to drag the pot and cut Maier's stack in half.

    Maier Drops a Pot

    Stud Hi/Lo:

    Lana Maier (X-X) {8-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {3-Hearts} (X)
    Brian Malcolm: (X-X) {4-Spades} {4-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {7-Clubs} (X)

    Picking up the action on fifth street, Maier raised after Malcolm bet. Malcolm called. On sixth, Maier led and was raised. She then made the call.

    On seventh street, Maier check-called a bet from Malcolm. Malcolm turned up two clubs in the hole, {J-Clubs} {3-Clubs}, and the {6-Spades}. He scooped the pot with a club flush due to neither player having a low. Maier flashed a third eight from her hand.

    You're Not the Only One, Lana

    Stud:

    Maier: x-x / {6-Spades} {9-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} / x
    Schock: x-x / {7-Spades} {A-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} / x
    Micon x-x / {J-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {5-Hearts} / x

    Look at those boards and guess what final hand won this three-way pot. The action was completed by Lana Maier on third street and called by Mitch Schock before Bryan Micon raised. Maier and Schock called.

    Schock took over the lead on fourth street. His bet was called by both opponents there and then again on fifth street. Everyone checked the rest of the way.

    Schock called air at showdown. Micon announced a pair of jacks. Maier announced a pair of kings to take win the hand.

    "Wow," said Maier as she dragged the pot. "I didn't think I was winning that one."

    With Slash, Duff and Adler all on the stage I guess that begs the question, "Where's Axel Rose?"

    I've come to the conclusion that Travis Barker is a better drummer than Ringo.
