We are winding down towards the top 100, with 135 players left, and we noticed that there were a good number of ladies still in the event. We did a count on the remaining tables, and we tallied 16 women who are still in, accounting for over 10% of the remaining field. One of those is Trish Baker, who has been one of the big stacks in the room for the past few hours, currently sitting at 45,000. We will be sure to keep an eye on the rest of the remaining female players.
Action began with a player in early position who raised to 1,600. A player in middle position flatted and action folded around to Crystal Quibell, who squeezed all in for about 4,800 total.

The board ran out and Quibell scooped the sizable pot - chipping back up to 13,300.
