Wolak Takes the Lead!

[user135779]
Marsha Wolak watches on nervously as the dealer spread the board.

Having started the final table as the overall short stack, Marsha Wolak has now taken the lead after scoring a massive double-up through Carol Tomlinson!

Karina Jett folded on the button before Tomlinson raised to 137,000 from the small blind. Wolak quickly moved all-in for 797,000 and Tomlinson snap-called.

Tomlinson: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Wolak: {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The flop of {2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts} kept Tomlinson in the lead, but Wolak's supporters got even louder! "Ace! Ace! Ace!" they cried.

BOOM! Down came the {A-Spades} on the turn and Wolak froze in utter shock as it dawned on her that she was now in front. Needing one of only two queens left in the deck, the {4-Clubs} bricked on the river and Tomlinson's good run has been halted for now, moving down to 630,000 in chips.
