Mitchnick Making the Most of It
Level 22
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Lynne Mitchnick has long been the last woman standing in the event, having successfully preserved a below-average stack as players continue to be eliminated. "Short-stack ninja," she said smilingly when reporting her status to one of the other local players still in the event.
Just Mitchnick open-raised all in for her last 116,000 from the small blind and got one caller in Adam Lippert in the BB. Mitchnick had 
and needed help versus Lippert's 
if she hoped to survive.
The flop brought Mitchnick a needed pair, coming 
, and after the 
turn and 
river she retained her seat, now with about 250,000 in front of her. Lippert has about 480,000 at the moment.
