One Lady Up, One Down

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Lisa Phillips quadrupled up.
Lisa Phillips quadrupled up.

Just after Sheila Gallagher sent the last of her chips to Crystal Utley, Lisa Phillips put her last 37,000 in under the gun and was called in three spots. On the {6-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop, Joshua Turner led out for 38,000 and forced his two active foes to fold.

Turner: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Phillips: {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The dealer burned and turned a {j-Spades}.

"There it is, bink," Turner said. "Never easy for me in these things..."

Fast Fall for Oberst

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Brian Oberst
Brian Oberst

Brian Oberst came into Day 2 with high hopes and a hefty stack, but he spiraled down throughout the day until he just busted on a short stack. He said he got the last of it in with {k-}{q-} and ran into a player holding {k-}{k-}. The former chip leader still managed to cash in what he said was his first big tournament.
