Candida Ross-Powers Eliminated in 5th Place ($35,398)

Candida Ross-Powers - 5th place
Candida Ross-Powers - 5th place

On the first hand back after the break, Candida Ross-Powers open-shoved all in for 315,000 from under the gun, and Yen Dang called from the button. Ross-Powers held {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, while Dang had {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

The flop came {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, pairing Dang, and after the {3-Clubs} turn Ross-Powers was down to a couple of outs to survive. Neither came, though, as the river was the {5-Spades}, and suddenly we're down to four players.

Pechac Trips Up Dang

Yen Dang raised from the button, Debbie Pechac called from the big blind, and the pair together saw a flop come {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Pechac checked, and after waiting a few seconds Dang checked behind. The turn was the {7-Hearts}. This time Pechac bet 20,000, and Dang responded with a raise to 45,000. Pechac looked at Dang's raise, then reraised herself to 120,000 total, and Dang let her hand go.

Pechac showed a card — the {10-Hearts} — as the dealer pushed the chips her way.

Less Pushing, More Patience

Since the elimination of Candida Ross-Powers in fifth place, the pace has slowed considerably, with few flops and mostly small pots. Angela Prada-Moed has on a couple of occasions pushed her short stack all in, but hasn't gotten any callers.

Howard Catches Pechac

Jan Howard
Jan Howard

Debbie Pechac opened for 45,000 from the button and got one caller in Jan Howard from the small blind. The flop came {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Howard checked, Pechac bet 50,000, and Howard called. The turn was the {K-Hearts}, and both players checked.

The river brought the {3-Clubs} and a bet of 60,000 from Howard, called by Pechac. Howard turned over {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, better than the {7-Clubs}{3-Spades} of Pechac, and with that pot the pair are virtually even for the chip lead.

Big Double for Dang, Pechac Short

We've had a huge chip swing here, ending with start-of-day chip leader Debbie Pechac suddenly becoming the short stack with four players left.

The hand began with an under-the-gun raise to 30,000 by Yen Dang. It folded to Pechac in the small blind who made it 100,000 to go, and when it folded back to Dang she reraised again to 350,000. Pechac responded by pushing all in, and Dang — outchipped by Pechac by about 160,000 — called with her remaining stack.

Dang: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Pechac: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

The flop came {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, pairing Dang. The {A-Diamonds} on the turn then improved Dang to trips. The river brought the {4-Hearts}, and now Dang leads with more than 1.5 million while Pechac is on the short stack.

Pechac Doubles Through Howard

Shortly after that hand with Yen Dang in which Debbie Pechac lost most of her stack, she has managed to double up through Jan Howard to gain a few back.

Pechac open-pushed her 167,000 from the small blind with {Q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Howard snap-called with {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. The {3-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop was no good for Pechac, but the {Q-Clubs} fell on the turn to put her in front, and the {9-Clubs} river meant she'd survived.

More for Dang, Prada-Moed Sliding

In one of the last hands of Level 21, Yen Dang limped in from the small blind, Angela Prada-Moed raised to 29,000 from a seat over, and Dang called.

The flop came {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Dang checked, and when Prada-Moed bet 36,000, Dang check-raised to 136,000, prompting a fold from Prada-Moed.

As the blinds increase again, Prada-Moed remains on a short stack while Yen Dang increases her lead.
