Shirley Williams is Eliminated

Steering a short stack through most of the evening Shirley Williams moved in for 5,100 with {J-Clubs}{8-Spades} and ran into the big blind who had {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. Williams flopped a jack and picked up an open-ended straight draw on the turn, but she didn't catch on the river and was eliminated.

Now That's a Good Laydown

Minh Ly raised to 3,600 and Mike Matusow, who has been bullying his table with big re-raises, did just that by popping it to 10,000. Ly didn't think long before folding his A-K face-up. Matusow then showed his two red aces, and the two exchanged a friendly fist-bump.

Hollink Shoots Some Off

Rob Hollink raises to 3500 from the cutoff and both blinds call.

The flop is {J-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} and all players check.

The turn card is the {8-Diamonds}. Both blinds check and Hollink bets 7000. Lars Bonding calls from the small blind.

The river card is the {Q-Clubs}. Bonding checks, Hollink bets 15,000 and Bonding calls, quickly tabling A-7, for ace high. Hollink mucks and the other players ask to see is hand. The floor is called over but his hand is irretrievable.
