A player raised to 2,700 from middle position, another called, then Donna Houle pushed all in from the hijack seat for 14,900 total, with the original raiser her only caller.
Houle had and needed help versus her opponent's , but the community cards came and Houle is out.
Sarah Grant has been eliminated, which means yet another of those participating in the Onnit Labs' Last Sticker Standing challenge has been eliminated.
In her last hand, Grant was playing from the big blind, having found herself up against Janet Howard playing from late position. The pair saw a flop come , and Grant checked. Howard bet 5,000, then Grant check-raised to 12,000, and Howard called.
The turn brought the and an all-in shove from Grant for 9,000 that Howard called. Howard tabled for top pair of kings, Grant showed , and after the fell on the turn Grant was eliminated in 86th place.
It sounded like Grant might've misread her hand at some point, thinking she had pocket tens. In any case, we'll probably be learning more about her experience, perhaps in a PokerNews video.
After all, even if she didn't win the Onnit last longer, she did win the one among the ladies of PokerNews while earning her first ever WSOP cash!
Donna Houle — one of those still alive in the Onnit Labs' Last Sticker Standing challenge — opened with a raise to 2,600 from middle position, and it folded to Ida Lundholm who made it 5,500 to go from the button. It then folded to the player in the small blind who pushed all in for 6,500 total, and both Houle and Lundholm called.
The flop came . Houle checked, and when Lundholm began to push out a bet, Houle quickly folded. Lundholm turned over for the overpair, her opponent showed , and after the turn and river, another player had hit the rail while Lundholm picked up a few chips.
We've already lost a couple of those players competing in the Onnit Labs' Last Sticker Challenge, the latest being Marie Martin who began the day with a short stack.
All in with versus an opponent's , the board ran out , and Martin joins the parade to the cashier's desk.
No sooner than Monica Hinojosa had grabbed the chip lead from Gaelle Baumann, it appears Baumann has snared it right back.
Baumann and Debbie Pechac, a couple of big stacks sitting side-by-side, together saw a flop of from middle position. Baumann led for 2,200, Pechac raised to 5,000, Baumann then made it 11,200, and Pechac called.
Baumann kept firing after the turn, and Pechac called again. The river brought the and an all-in shove from Baumann, and after some thought Pechac let it go.
Baumann surges up over 100,000 on that one, the first player to reach that milestone.
It folded around to Monica Hinojosa on the button who raised, and her neighbor to the left called from the small blind. Then the big blind reraised, and Hinojosa responded with an all-in shove, forcing out the small blind. Hinojosa's opponent called, and Hinojosa immediately tabled her . Meanwhile her opponent showed .
The board rolled out , and Hinojosa's aces had held. After a countdown of chips it was determined Hinojosa had her opponent covered, and another player hits the rail. Meanwhile, the small blind revealed she had folded .

We came on this hand with four players having gone to a flop. The small blind checked, chip leader Gaelle Baumann bet 1,700, Candida Ross-Powers raised to 3,700, then 2011 Ladies No-Limit Hold'em Championship winner Marsha Wolak called as well, leaving herself around 8,000 behind.
Both the small blind and Baumann folded, then Ross-Powers reraised enough to put Wolak all in and the defending champ called.
"Nice hand!" said Wolak as she spied Ross-Powers's , then tabled her own . The river was the , and the pair chopped the pot.
