WSOPC Commerce Main Event Winner Jessica Vierling is in the mix and shows no signs of slowing down.
She was in the big blind when action folded to her opponent in the small blind who raised to 2,400. She looked over and asked how many chips he had left, and he replied roughly 24,000. She then raised to around 30,000 and her opponent quickly folded.

A full board of A♠Q♠A♥A♣2♦ was on the table and Christina Gollins had fired a bet of 8,500 on the river into Jacob Baumgartner. After some time thinking, Baumgartner tossed in the call.
Gollins flipped over A♦Q♣ for quads, and Baumgartner didn't see happy with himself.
"I played it badly,"
"I lost the maximum," joked Baumgartner after the hand was done. Nevertheless, both Gollins and Baumgartner are off to a good start with well over the double the starting stack.
