Lana Maier started the day among the short stacks, but she's been steadily chipping up in the first half hour. We caught her in a Stud Hi/Lo hand against chip leader Fabrice Soulier. Both players checked fourth street. Soulier bet fifth and was called.

On sixth street, Soulier still had the lead and checked to Maier, who fired a bet. Soulier called, then check-called again on the river. Maier turned up {4-?}

{4-?}

{5-?}

{5-?}

in the hole for an 8-7 low and a pair of fives.

"She won," said Soulier as he mucked.

"Nice hand," added Bryan Micon with a rap of the table.
