Baker = Busto

Mandy Baker
Mandy Baker
Amanda Baker got it all in preflop holding {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} against an opponent's pocket jacks and the {J-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{7-Spades} board that ensued proved fatal for Baker, who quietly joined the rail about twenty minutes into level five.

Ng Eliminates Two

Eliminating two opponents would put a smile on anyone's face!
Eliminating two opponents would put a smile on anyone's face!
Facing a raise to 700 from late position Evelyn Ng pushed a stack of 100 and 500-chip denominations into the middle effectively putting the raiser all in.

The big blind sat in the tank for over sixty-seconds before calling off her remaining 1,400 in chips. The original raiser opted to call for her last 2,700 as well and the cards were tabled.

Ng: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Original Raiser: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Big Blind: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The flop of {9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} gave the big blind a flush-draw, while Ng stayed in the lead with her over-pair.

The {7-Clubs} changed little on the turn and when the {Q-Clubs} fell on the river Ng eliminated two players while chipping up to over 8,000 in chips.

Boeree Busts In Thee-Player Mush

Bye Bye Boeree
Bye Bye Boeree
Anna Wroblewski opened the action from under the gun to 600 and was met with a reraise to 1,200 and a call from the small blind.

Liv Boeree sweated her cards before moving all in for her last 2,400. Wroblewski passed and both the reraiser and small blind made the call for her tournament life.

Boeree: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The flop of {J-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} would see the only player not all in put a near lock on the hand flopping top set.

With both Boeree and the small blind drawing to gutshot straight draws, they would both fall to the rail when the {4-Hearts} came on the turn, followed by the {6-Clubs} on the river.

Castello Crumbles

Back to work!
Back to work!
Melissa Castello has recently been eliminated from the tournament.

After sitting on the short-stack for the previous level, Castello finally woke up with {Q-?}{Q-?} and pushed the last of her chips into the middle.

Unfortunately for Castello an opponent woke up with {A-?}{A-?} and Castello failed to improve; now having to head to the rail and back to work for the PokerNews TV team.

Player Profile: Maureen Feduniak

We saw many ladies take to the felt today - from the amateurs to the the known professionals of Kirsty Gazes, Evelyn Ng, Amanda Baker and Karina Jett.

However there is one in the field that tends to fly under the radar when she sits down to battle it out.

Maureen Feduniak has been on the tournament circuit long before poker became mainstream. Most will remember her from her two WPT final tables back in 2003, but Feduniak's tale is a much longer one.

Feduniak has ten WSOP cashes to her name including a runner-up performance in 2006 in a $1,500 No Limit Holdem event. Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Feduniak has accumulated many cashes in multiple tournaments.

With lifetime earnings falling just shy of $500,000, Feduniak and her current 6,100 in chips see her with a chance of adding another cash to her poker CV as well as an exclusive bracelet.

By the Numbers

Of the 1,060 ladies who started the day, just 410 remain.

The average chip stack is 7,758.

The chip leader is Ulrika Tangstrom from Stockholm, Sweden (30,000).

We are currently 293 places away from the money.

Ho's Dislike For Table

Worst table . . . for who?
Worst table . . . for who?
With another table breaking, we walked over to find Maria Ho seated at the far end of the tournament floor.

"This is the worst table" commented Maria Ho as she mucked another hand.

Ho, who has a healthy 22,100 in chips, is seated next to Sabyl Cohen-Landrum (8,800) and opposite JJ Liu (21,600) and will have to get use to her table as it is unlikely to break tonight.

Musumeci Calls Heads

In tournament poker, races are a regular occurrence and you either win them, or you don't.

Most recently Amanda Musumeci was involved in a preflop raising war to see her all in for her tournament life.

Musumeci: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

In what is the most common race, Musumeci would see a silver quarter flipped, call heads and see George Washington land face up when the board ran out {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} to see her double to just under 10,000 in chips.
