and rivered a jack to best her opponents' {7-Diamonds}

Kristy Gazes Eliminated

[user22113]

Jason Strasser raised from UTG, Amir Vahedi called from middle position, and Kristy Gazes moved all in from the big blind. Strasser moved all-in over the top of her and Vahedi folded. Strasser tabled the {A-Clubs}

while Gazes held the {10-Spades}

. The flop was {A-Hearts}

and Gazes would need to spike a ten to survive. The turn was the {7-Clubs}

and the river was the {4-Diamonds}

, bringing no help for Gazes and sending her to the rail.

Strasser was up to 445K after the hand and is our current chip leader.
