Lisa Santy Eliminated in 9th Place ($15,973)

Lisa Hamilton raised to 40,000, but Lisa Santy moved all in behind her for 171,000. An unexpected re-shove for not much more from Kim Rios in the small blind and back around to Hamilton, who considered it for some time but eventually gave it up. On their backs.

Santy: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Rios: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}

"C'mon baby, give me some luck," pleaded Santy. and indeed there was a glimmer of hope on the flop.

Flop: {Q-Spades} {J-Spades} {9-Spades}

Another glimmer of at least a chop on the turn...

Turn: {5-Spades}

"Spade me, baby," begged Santy of the poker gods.

River: a bricktastic {8-Hearts}

Thus we lose Kim Santy in ninth place.

Blinds: 8,000/16,000

Must Be Nice to Be Kim Rios

Just before the blinds went up, an interesting hand almost, but not quite, took off.

Kim Rios raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Mari Lou Morelli called her from the button to see a {K-Clubs} {5-Spades} {10-Clubs} flop. Rios open-shoved the flop and Morelli passed. Rios showed her second pair of pocket aces of the day. Must be nice.

Who's Here, Apart From the Obvious?

Incidentally, there seems to be a lot of railer interest in this final table. Currently lurking at the rail we have such luminaries as Elky, Pam Brunson and Dennis Phillips, as well as what can only be described as a throng of friends and family. An impressive turnout.

No Kimaraderie Here

Kim Rios made a 50,000 raise under the gun and small blind Lori Bender was the sole caller.

Flop: {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}

Bender checked, and when Rios bet 100,000 she reraised to 200,000. Rios moved all in for 398,000 total and Bender decided she didn't like her hand that much after all, and passed. Rios rewarded her by flashing {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades} for top two pair.

With that, Rios moves into the chip lead on 725,000, while Bender sinks to 325,000.

New Chip Leader - Again

Wow, the chips are all over the place here. The structure is pretty tight now, and the chip leader is changing faster than Superman in a phone booth.

Just now, Lisa Hamilton raised to 50,000 under the gun and got a call from Kim Rios on the button. Hamilton checked the {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} flop and Rios tried it on for 100,000, but passed to a minimum raise from Hamilton.

Hamilton: 720,000
Rios: 545,000

Lisa Parsons Eliminated in 7th Place ($22,880)

Grand Parson-y
Grand Parson-y
Kim Rios made it 40,000 from the button and then called an additional 76,000 from big blind Lisa Parsons. As is traditional, they proceeded to a flop.

Flop: {3-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

Parsons now checked -- but when Rios bet 100,000, she moved all in for 290,000 total. A pause... And a call!

Rios: {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs} for top pair
Parsons: {3-Spades} {3-Diamonds} for a set

Now here it gets really good.

Turn: {7-Spades}

Parsons fills up, to cheering and high-fiving from her buddies at the rail. "Show me a deuce," she says to the poker gods while the river is being dealt...

River:

Wait for it....

...


{9-Diamonds}!

The rail goes nuts with cheering, booing and a lot of general noise.

Rios makes herself a bigger full house in a most disgusting runner-runner-outdraw sort of way, and while she is the new chip mommy on 938,000, a most unfortunate Parsons hits the rail with 7th place money.

More for Morelli

Meanwhile Mari Lou Morelli has clawed back a few chips and is sitting on a very respectable 430,000. She made it 45,000 pre and got called by both Lisa Hamilton and Lori Bender, but then took down the pot with an 85,000 bet on the {10-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} flop.
