Lerner Hits the River to Bust One
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
A player in early position bet 4,100 on a flop of 6♣4♥5♦ before a middle-position player raised to 11,600. Delilah Lerner then moved all in from the big blind and the early-position player folded, but the opponent in middle position quickly called.
All-In Player: 8♣8♥
Delilah Lerner: 6♥5♥
The at-risk player was ahead with his eights, while Lerner had a pair and straight draw. The A♥ turn also gave her a flush draw, and Lerner spiked the flush on the J♥ river.
The stacks were counted down, and Lerner's remaining 28,000 had her opponent barely covered to earn her the knockout.
