Oh Bui!

Oanh Bui raised to 750 under the gun and found one caller from the hijack. The flop came down {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Bui moved all in with the bigger stack. Her opponent made the all-in call with {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and Bui tabled {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. The turn and river ran out the {10-Hearts} and {2-Spades}, respectively, missing Bui's opponent.

Oanh Bui is up to 8,100 after the hand.

Ng Playing Aggressively

Evelyn Ng seems to be working hard to keep her chip lead. Every time we walk by her table she's raising pots, many of them going uncontested as she adds the not unsubstantial blinds and antes to her stack, nearing 50,000.

Elizabeth Takes Big Hit When Aces Cracked

We arrived at the hand to see a raised flop of {10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} being played out between Shannon Elizabeth and another player at her table.

Elizabeth checked the flop from the big blind and called when her opponent bet 1,000 from the button. When the {4-Spades} came on the turn, Elizabeth led out with a bet of 2,400 and was called by her opponent.

The river was the {7-Spades} and the button player moved all in before Elizabeth had a chance to act. She said she would make a bet equal to her opponent's stack and flipped up {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. When she saw her opponent's {a-Spades}{5-Spades}, she looked crushed, saying "I can't believe you were chasing the flush."

After the hand, Elizabeth was down to 9,000 chips.

Portal Finds a Double

We arrived at Alexia Portal's table to see her all in for 3,875. She had shoved over the top of a raise and a call, and the raiser called Portal's all in after about a minute in the tank. The other opponent folded and it was off to the races.

Portal: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Portal's pair help up. She's upped her stack to nearly 10,000.

Dragon Lady Tamed

Gretchen "Dragon Lady" Brummer got mixed up on what would be her last hand when she raised to 1,600 from the cutoff position and had one of the blinds re-raise to 3,000. Brummer re-raised all in and said "Thanks for the double up." When her opponent asked whether Brummer would show her cards if she folded, Brummer said no. At that point, her opponent made the call.

Brummer was behind from the start with {a-}{10-} against her opponent's {a-}{k-} and failed to pull ahead.

Isaacs Iced

Wth the board reading {8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, Suzie Isaacs re-raised an opponent all in for about 8,500 and after a short while, her opponent made the call with {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Isaacs tabled {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the better flush draw, but the {Q-Spades} hit on the turn and Isaacs would not be saved by the {10-Diamonds} river.
