Some members of our crack reporting team here at PokerNews have been drooling over Kristy Gazes' tall crocodile Jimmy Choo stiletto boots and coordinating Fendi snakeskin purse. The statuesque Gazes carries off the boots-tucked into jeans look flawlessly.

I'm sure Kristy's personal shoppers over at Neiman Marcus are rooting for a final table finish for this fashionista.

Hans "Tuna" Lund Eliminated in 20th Place

[user22113]

JC Tran is on a roll and sent Hand "Tuna" Lund to the rail in 20th Place. Lund had Tran dominated when he flopped a King with Big Slick. JC Tran held {J-Spades}

and flopped an 8. Tran turned trip 8s and quickly called when Lund moved all in. The river could not help Lund and he busted out. That hand nearly pushed Tran over $3 million in chips.
