Stone Gets A Triple, Then Eliminates Vanauken
In Level 20 with blinds of 4,000/8,000 and an ante of 1,000, Katie "KatieStone" Stone was down to her last 38,000 and shoved from middle position. She received a call from Daniel "leinad' Buzgon in the hijack and then action folded around to Stephanie "Stephhub0331" Hubbard in the big blind, who re-jammed for 98,000. Buzgon called that shove as well and all three players' hands were shown.
Katie "KatieStone" Stone: 
Stephanie "Stephhub0331" Hubbard: 
Daniel "leinad" Buzgon: 
Hubbard had the best hand to begin with but Stone pulled ahead on the flop 
. The situation remained unchanged through the turn 
and river 
and Stone earned the triple while Hubbard won the side pot.
Moments later, Stone was once again involved in a hand with Eric "alwaysliquid" Vanauken, where Vanauken shoved all in preflop for 36,000 in early position and received a call from Stone, who was in the big blind.
Eric "alwaysliquid" Vanauken: 
Katie "KatieStone" Stone: 
Once again, Stone connected with the flop 
and stayed in front through the turn 
and river 
to score another pot and bring herself up to 172,000, eliminating Vanauken along the way.
A handful of eliminations on either side of Vanauken now has the field down to 20.
