Two More Names Fall

Humberto Brenes and Jennifer Tilly are both out. Brenes got his stack in preflop holding pocket sevens and was called by a player holding {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}. Brenes lost the race when a queen hit the flop.

Tilly went out in more dramatic fashion. She checked a flop of {8-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {3-Hearts} over to her opponent, who bet 950. After some thought, Tilly check-raised to 3,000. Her opponent, who had her covered, moved all in and Tilly made the call.

Tilly: {A-Spades} {8-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-Spades} {8-Hearts}

Tilly was drawing dead to running aces; the board came running tens. She is out.
