We caught up with the action on a 
flop, where Lily Newhouse's lone opponent in the big blind went all in for her last couple thousand. Newhouse slid out a call.
"Did you call me with a two?" Newhouse's opponent asked, tabling 
.
"No, you're good," she replied while flipping over the 
.
The 
turn and 
river missed Newhouse and she slipped to a still-healthy 16,000 in chips.
Lizzy Monroe has been nursing a short stack for quite some time and recently committed her last 1,775 from early position. The woman in the cutoff made the call while the rest of the field got out of the way.
Monroe: 
Cutoff: 
Monroe was in a tough spot, but the 
flop cheered her up considerably as she picked up a flush draw. The 
turn did not complete it, but did provide her with a gut-shot straight draw. Unfortunately for Monroe, the 
blanked on the river and she was eliminated from the Ladies Championship.
We just saw a very interesting development at Black Table #6. We didn't catch all of the action, but this is what happened from the information we gathered.
Action folded around to the player in the small blind, who had the intention of moving all in. However, she grabbed two of her three stacks and pushed them forward, then grabbed her third and slid that forward. This, my friends, is your classic string bet. The problem with this instance was that the big blind had instantly made the call and had already flipped her hand, assuming that her opponent was all in. As it turned out, the big blind had the small blind crushed, with 
vs 
.
The floor was called over, and the ruling was made that the flop would be dealt out, and that the players would "play the hand as if they didn't know the other person's cards." Well the flop came 
, and understandably, the small blind checked, the big blind pushed, and the small blind happily folded, as she had just caught a big break, and was given a second chance in this tournament.

Frances Anderson has just been eliminated from the 2011 WSOP $1,000 Ladies Championship at the hands of Sandra Suvearingen.
Earlier, Patty Glass did most of the damage to his stack after cracking Anderson's with 
, pairing an ace on the board. Down to his last chips, Anderson shoved them in from the small blind a short time later with 
, but Suvearingen woke up with 
in the big blind.
The board improved neither hand and Anderson was sent packing. Interesting sidenote: when the ladies enquired as to why he was playing in the tournament today, he said that it was "because he sucked".
We can now confirm that there are three male players left in the field.

A woman under the gun raised to 1,600 and action folded around to a short-stacked Pam Wilson on the button. She thought for a moment before sliding in her entire stack of 3,175. The blind got out of the way and the UTG player made the call.
UTG: 
Wilson: 
Wilson had been patient waiting for a hand, but unfortunately the one time she did, she ran into the second-best hand in poker. The 
flop gave some runner-runner straight options to Wilson, but the 
turn quickly dashed them. In order to stay alive, Wilson needed one of the red fives on the river. The dealer burned and put out the 
. It was close, but just one pip shy. Wilson has been eliminated from the tournament.
We caught up with the action on a 
flop, where Gretchen Brummer and Lily Newhouse apparently got into a small raising war with Brummer being the first to go all-in for her last 11,000. Newhouse fell hard into the tank.
"What did I get myself into?" she said.
Newhouse eventually mucked and Brummer tabled .
Newhouse is down to 9,000 while Brummer has risen to 35,000.

Kirsty Chick has just been sent to the rail at the hands of Dee Strayski, who is now on more than 25,000 in chips.
As Wooka Kim recalled to us, Chick got the last of her money into the middle with , but lost the flip to Strayski's after she caught running kings full of aces. And that, as they say, was that.

The third-last male competitor in the field has just been cheered off after being crushed at the hands of Ruby Du, who is still piling up a stack worth more than 60,000.
All the money was in the middle on a flop that read 
(two clubs); the gentleman moved his chips in with 
for the flush draw, but Du called him down with for top pair.
The turn and river came running , , but with neither one of those cards being a club, the ladies were able to stick it to The Man once again.
To quote tournament supervisor Bob Smith: "Another one bites the dust!"

Vanessa Hellebuyck, our defending champion of last year's Ladies Event, has been eliminated.
We missed the action but are being told that Hellebuyck bet 2,800 on a 
flop into a lone opponent. Her opponent raised to 7,000, Hellebuyck pushed all in and she was called.
Hellebuyck: 
Opponent: 
The turn and 
river failed to improve Hellebuyck and her tournament life was put to an end.
