Shannon-ymous?

[user46298]

Allen Kessler (who's sat at the table nearest the PokerNews computer) asked me if Shannon Elizabeth was playing today. It being early, and the room not yet swept, I answered that I wasn't sure but would get back to him. "You must know who Shannon Elizabeth is?" he asked, incredulous, having picked up the wrong end of the stick with both hands.

I know there are few in the room who do not know the movie starlet/poker player, and I also know that she's not had the best early half-level. Just now in Omaha/8 she called a utg raise to 150, seeing a flop of {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

. The utg player bet, she called. Exactly the same thing happened on the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

turn, but the {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

river was checked.

Elizabeth's opponent showed {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{A-?}

and she mucked her hand.
