Miss Lilly Takes Sanders to the Club
Level 7
: 200/400, 50 ante
We noticed the seat formerly occupied by Michael Sanders was empty, and a quick check with his former opponents confirmed that he had been eliminated. Michael "Carwash" Schneider and company were kind enough to fill us in on the details.
According to the table, action folded to Sanders and he raised on the button. A nice lady affectionately referred to as "Miss Lilly" then called from the small blind and it was heads-up action to the flop, which came down 
with two diamonds and a club.
Miss Lilly led out for 1,000 and then called when Sanders raised to 2,200. When the turned, Miss Lilly bet 2,000 and Sanders shoved for 7,000. Miss Lilly made the call with the 
for a pair of queens and a flush draw, which she needed to hit to overcome Sanders' 
flopped straight.
The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
. Miss Lilly hit her flush to send a tough competitor to the rail, but she didn't seem to excited about it. In fact, she felt bad for what she'd just done. After Sanders left the rest of the table explained to Miss Lilly that he was trying to take her chips to she had nothing to feel bad about, which seemed to settle Miss Lilly's nerves a bit.
Meanwhile, we saw three-time WSOP Circuit ring winner La Sengphet exiting the room, which leads us to believe that she has been eliminated from the tournament.

Lowery Gets Long-Awaited First Gold Ring in Event #6 $365 NLHE
Level 7
: 200/400, 50 ante
Daniel Lowery, who finished second in chips on Day 1a, is a regular on the tournament circuit, but up until a few days ago a victory had eluded him. That all changed Tuesday night when he emerged victorious over a 325-player field in Event #6 No-Limit Hold’em to capture a $22,912 first-place prize and his long overdue first gold ring.
Lowery, a 39-year-old owner of a sawmill from Peter Pender, Arkansas, had previously made three WSOP Circuit final tables, including a fourth-place finish in the New Orleans Main Event last year and second in the 2011/2012 WSOP Circuit Choctaw Main Event. He was no doubt worried about falling short once again, but Lowery managed to ride his final table chip lead to plow through the final table, which included tough players like circuit regular Preston Derden, two-time gold ring winner James Henson and Charles “Woody” Moore, who has 24 WSOP Circuit cashes for $412,272.
Other ring winners that cashed in the event included Joshua Pender, “Captain” Tom Franklin, Paul Sokoloff and Kat Bowen.
