Kade Busts One

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

Vanessa Kade raised to 600 from late position, and a short-stacked player three-bet all in for 1,100. Kade called and showed {a-Spades}{j-Spades}. Her all-in opponent held {a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, and would need help. The board did not connect with either player's hand, coming {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Kade took the pot, and her opponent was eliminated.

Mandy Baker

We came to the table and saw Amanda Baker studying the {9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} board. The pot was roughly 2,300 and she was facing a 1,200 bet from her opponent and was in the tank when we got there. A solid minute later Baker made the call and was happy to see her {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} held up against her opponent's {a-}{q-}.

With nine WSOP cashes including an 11th (2011) and 76th (2012) in the event, Baker has the experience and poker prowess to make a deep run. Keep it here to find out how far she goes.

A blind-vs-blind confrontation helped Jackie Glazier build one of the larger stacks in the room. According to Maria Mayrinck, she held {a-}{k-} against Glazier's {j-}{j-}, and they were all an preflop. The board didn't help Mayrinck hand, and Glazier's jacks won the pot, giving her a boost on her way to 17,500 in chips.
