"I'm Not That Lucky" Says Bielan

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A player in early position raised, Arnie Friedman called in the cutoff and Judith Bielan three-bet to 60,000 from the button, the original raiser folded and Friedman clicked it back to 126,000. Bielan thought for some time before five-bet jamming, only to be met by a snap-call.

Arnie Friedman: A♠K♥ All in
Judith Bielan: A♣Q♥

The dealer spread the 4♥10♣7♣ flop which was no help to Bielan, as she got up out of her seat.

"I'm not that lucky" Bielan continued as she got ready to exit the tournament floor. However, the Q♦ peeled on the turn, propelling her into the lead. The 5♦ river confirmed Friedman's exit.

"I thought I was heading to the Wynn" Bielan joked as she stacked her newly acquired chips.
