Small Pots After Early Fireworks

Jaxon

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There haven't been any noteworthy pots during the last blind level. The only female to enter the tournament Christina Orfanidou
is in jeopardy as her stack has dwindled down to about 10 big blinds.

She was just involved in a hand with Spyridon Michailidis where both players had ace-four. Orfanidou jammed for about six big blinds on an ace high flop and got a call. It was a chopped pot right away but a couple of players at the table got a small laugh after a four came on the turn to give both players two pair.

Orfanidou will be interviewed by Sarah Herring on the break.
