Cullen the Field
After registering one of the latest reentries of the day, Valerie Novak managed to work her second 20,000 stack into a reasonable holding late here tonight. Unfortunately for Novak, however, her slow and steady grind just came to a screeching halt.
Squaring off against Frank Cullen and holding 
, Novak was ready to double up or die trying, and it happened to be the latter. On a 
flop Novak called off her last 12,000 or so when Cullen bet enough to force her all in.
“You have a jack?,” asked Novak, disappointed to see Cullen’s 
hit the felt. “Jack-ten huh… nice hand.”
“Short stack ma’am, just like you…” replied Cullen. “Nothing I could do there.”
The turn (
) and river (
) changed nothing and Novak was left with just a single purple T500 chip – and despite having a chair to go along with her chip, her tournament ended on the next deal.
