The came on the river. This time the big blind checked and Nutini led out with a bet of 1,150 leaving just 350 behind. The hijack was the only caller as the big blind folded.

There is little doubt who the most dangerous player in the field is. Bracelet winner Vanessa Selbst is a force to be reckoned with in any tournament she plays. In 2008, she bested a field of 758 to win the $1,500 PLO event.
In April, she won the NAPT Mohegan Sun for $750,000. Take it from us, she dominated that tournament en route to her victory.
A player in early position had raised to 125 and Nicolle Peppe bumped it up to 350 late position and and got a call from the player in the hijack. The original raiser got out of the way and we were headed to a heads up flop.

Both players checked the on the turn, and Peppe made one more bet of 600 when the came on the river.
After getting a call, Peppe showed . Her opponent mucked and Peppe is now up to about 4,700 chips.
There is much more camaraderie present in this event than we are used to seeing. Over at Table 61, some of the players had to go to the bathroom. In the spirit of fair play, the entire table decided to take a bathroom break together.
A few moments later our first male participant was eliminated. The entire floor stood up in applause as he walked to the rail.
Shannon Elizabeth has been cleaning house over at her table. She had already eliminated two players at her table when we started to take in the action in this hand.
Sitting in the cutoff, Elizabeth raised to 125. Action then folded to the big blind who three-bet to 350. Elizabeth made another raise, this time to 1,000, and got called by the the big blind.
