DeTienne: 
Slabon: 
The flop came 
giving DeTienne a set of tens, but a

Carolyn Tulloch moved all in on the 
flop for 329,000 against Radwan Khuri. Khuri tanked for a couple of minutes and then folded the 
face up to Tulloch, who won the pot and pushed to over 500,000 in chips.
One of Tulloch's friends on the rail called us over and explained to us that both Tulloch and William Thomson are from the same hometown in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A group of them came down to play this event together and now both Tulloch and Thomson as deep in the event with the final few tables left.
They'd like to give a shout to everyone on Team Alberta that's following along from home. They're looking to take the gold back to Calgary.
