Amanda Baker final-tabled this event last year, but she won't be repeating that performance this year. We're a bit short on the details, but the outcome is clear.
Kristy Arnett was flipping over just as we got to the table after her opponent had called her river bet. She had flopped a set and had the best hand. Arnett is enjoying a sizable stack to work with early in this event.
Matt Salsberg joins the PokerNews Podcast to talk about his third-place finish at the 2014 World Series of Poker, being dangerous, a new show he's developing, and much more.
"I was down to three bigs," Kristalina Steininger told us on our way past the table. A quick glance at her stack revealed that she has over 10,000 in chips now — 70 big blinds.
You may remember Steininger from the article on PokerNews about "cool jobs in poker." Steininger is the Community Manager for PokerStars Women, and you can read all about her "cool job" in this article.
