Last Woman Standing No More

Katherine Bowen managed to get her last 160,000 all in preflop holding {9-}{9-} and was racing against the {A-}{K-} of Michael McKuin. Bowen was good on the flop and through the turn, but an ace spiked ont he river to put an end to her day in 27th place, good for $5,820.

Bowen has been a virtual cashing machine here in St. Louis, which has complimented her Circuit résumé nicely. We're sure we'll see more of her in the very near future.

Melton Mauled

A short-stacked Steve Melton moved all in under the gun for his last 38,000 with {A-}{10-} only to run into two other players who got into a raising war with {10-}{10-} and {7-}{7-}. Long story short, the pocket tens ended up winning and Melton ended up finishing in 33rd place for $4,438.

Conrad Doubles Through Davenport

David Davenport opened from the cutoff for 22,000 and Chris Conrad popped it to 54,000 from the small blind. Davenport called and the flop rolled out {7-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {6-Clubs}. Conrad led out with 44,000 but Davenport tried to take the offensive with re-raising to 125,000.

Conrad thought for a moment and shoved for a total of 301,000. Davenport tanked for short while, asking himself aloud, "Can I get away from this hand?"

He couldn't and called, having Conrad covered.

Conrad: {K-Clubs} {5-Clubs}
Davenport: {10-Spades} {7-Spades}

Davenport was ahead in the hand and the turn came {3-Clubs}, giving Conrad a flush draw to go with his straight draw. The river was Yahtzee! for Conrad when it fell {K-Diamonds}.

That left Davenport short and brought Conrad within shouting distance of the seven-figure mark.
