But we all know better. Party Poker's Kara Scott is definitely still a rock star! Sarah catches her on a break to see how she is hanging in.
We didn't catch the preflop action, but we do know that Kenneth Hicks was all in and at risk against Justin Bonomo.

Bonomo held the best hand but Hicks was drawing to live cards. The flop paired Bonomo's queen, but the turn did give Hicks outs to a ten. Unfortunately for him, the river was a blank and Bonomo put an end to his day with a pair of queens.
