Patrick Coleman Eliminated in 16th Place ($3,585)

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Patrick Coleman shoved all in from under the gun and Bobby Sanoubane, who was on his direct left, asked for a count. The total was 100,000-even and Sanoubane slid forward a stack of red T5,000 chips. Everybody else folded and the two turned up their cards.

Patrick Coleman: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Bobby Sanoubane: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Coleman got his cards in behind but had two live cards. The flop came in his favor, falling {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{q-Spades} to give him a pair of queens. The turn then came {j-Hearts} to give Sanoubane seven more outs with a double gutter. The river completed the backdoor straight, coming {9-Hearts} and sending Coleman home in 16th place.

Zoller Picks Off Freedman

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Nate Zoller opened to 28,000 from early position and action folded around to Wendy Freedman in the small blind, who called. Jon Cohen defended his big blind and the three went to a flop of {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. Action went check-check-check.

The turn came {10-Diamonds} and Freedman led out for 51,000. Cohen folded, putting action on Zoller. He called, bringing the river {q-Hearts}. Freedman bet another 70,000 and Zoller thought for close to a minute before announcing a call.

"Good call," said Freedman. "I have a pair of deuces," she said as she tabled {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

Zoller turned over {a-Spades}{10-Hearts} and won the pot with his queens up.

Barb Visher limped from under the gun and Jay Jesse raised to 45,000 from her direct left. He received a call from Bobby Sanoubane in the hijack and action folded back to Visher, who called.

"Three players," said the dealer, fanning a flop of {6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{a-Hearts}. Visher checked. Jesse put out a continuation-bet of 50,000 and Sanoubane quickly folded.

"I really want to show you my hand right now," Visher said to Sanoubane as she tossed it into the muck and the pot was sent to Jesse, whose stack is now approaching the one million-chip mark.

Ben Keeline
Ben Keeline

Action folded to Ben Keeline in the cutoff and he limped in. Wendy Freedman was in the big blind and checked after both players in between them folded and the flop came {5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{q-Spades}. Both players checked.

The turn fell {9-Spades} and Freedman bet 38,000. Keeline called. Freedman fired another 80,000 on the river {k-Clubs} and Keeline threw in chips to call.

Freedman turned over {j-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Keeline tabled {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}, taking down the pot with pocket aces.

"I guess you got the maximum, Ben." Wendy said, remarking about how she wasn't sure what his limping range would be from the cutoff.

"Welcome Back from Dinner"

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Wendy Freedman was in a heads-up pot in the hijack against Randy Needens, who was on the button. Needens bet 30,000 on the turn with a board of {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Freedman called.

The river came {10-Hearts} and Freedman checked to Needens again, who bet about 50,000. Freedman instantly tossed out a chip to call.

Needens tabled {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a flopped flush, and Freedman mucked. She then reached out to her recently-released cards and turned over {7-Hearts} to show she had a straight.

"Welcome back from dinner," she said with a smile on her face.
