Durocher Shows Lindsay the Exit
The preflop action was recounted to PokerNews by players at the table.
Kathryn Lindsay opened from early position before Wess Durocher three-bet from middle position to 55,000. Lindsay made the call.
The flop came down 5♦J♥K♠, and Lindsay checked. Durocher shipped it and put Lindsay to a decision for her tournament life. Lindsay called, putting herself at risk for approximately 284,000.
Kathryn Lindsay: K♥Q♦
Wess Durocher: 5♣5♥
Lindsay held top pair, but it was well behind when she found out the bad news that Durocher flopped bottom set.
The 7♥ turn sealed Lindsay's fate, as she had no recourse to come back and win the hand.
Durocher improved to a full house on the 7♠ river and eliminated Lindsay from contention.
James Morris was eliminated at another table to trim the field down to 27.
