A Little Less Laughter and Chatter

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

All day the Brasilia Room has been full of laughter and chatter that can only be found when you put 954 poker playing women in a single room. With only 45 more eliminations needed to secure a payday, the chatter has decreased significantly, partly because the room is minus 3/4 of its starting players and also because the money bubble is approaching. It appears the women are buckling down and focused on achieving the first major milestone on the way to the gold bracelet.

Bustout for Liu

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player moved all in preflop from early position, and action folded around to Annie Liu, who quickly called. Everyone else folded. Lui turned over {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}, and the all-in player showed {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. The board ran out {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, and Liu's kings held.

She is now up to 62,000.

Beaumont Wins A Ton

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Two big stacks at the table put all their money in preflop in a cooler hand: aces versus kings. Lynne Beaumont had the aces and had her opponent covered. Her aces held up to give her a substantial stack as we near the money.

The flop fell {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Phan's pair holds up to eliminate Bleeth from the tournament. This win puts Phan's stack as one of the biggest in the room.
