Maura Harris open-shoved in the cutoff with pocket but got looked up by Franny Bartolone in the small blind holding . A board later, and it was all over for Harris.
Jamie Kerstetter shoved with and got called by Shelly Brown holding a way-in-front pocket tens, but an outdrawy board later and Brown was down to just 2,000.
All in on the small blind next hand, her was in pretty bad shape against a raiser's , and she duly busted out when the board first gaveth and then did taketh away.
Just before the break, Alya Nazarali raised to 15,000 under the gun, only for Anna Kantor to go all in for 100,000. Nazarali thought about it for a while before deciding she liked her chances -- but it was the wrong decision and she is busto.
Nazarali:
Kantor:
Board: a ten-less
Kantor, meanwhile, is up to a very healthy 177,000.
Michelle Withers opened, only to be met by a reraise from Kim Rios. Withers re-popped all in for 60,000 total, Rios called, and it was a massive race for Withers' tournament life.
Withers:
Rios:
Board: a non-binking
Withers is therefore busto, while Rios is right up there with 125,000.
Thuy "Cindy" Beltran shoved under the gun for just 21,500 with and found herself utterly dominated when Karina Jett made the call with on the button. A complete lack of suckouts on the board, and Beltran is down.
