Shannon Elizabeth, during Event #47

Shannon Elizabeth is off to a solid start to the day after catching a couple of nice flops. Elizabeth called bets on the flop and turn, before checking down the river on a board of {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

{A-Spades}

. Elizabeth showed down {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{6-Diamonds}

for two pair to take down the pot against an opponent's {Q-?}

{Q-?}

{9-?}

.

She then followed that up by flopping trips with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

on a board of {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

. Elizabeth checked the flop, raised the turn and then checked down the river. Her opponent showed only {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

for a missed draw.

Elizabeth looks content to play small-ball poker as she moves up to 21,500.
