Landers Out Set on the River
Xinwen Zhang opened to 12,000 from under the gun and got a call from Melissa Landers in middle position. Action folded around to Sumire Uenomachi who three-bet to 43,000 from the small blind.
Zhang folded and the action was on Landers. After some thought, Landers moved all in for her remaining 40,000. Uenomachi snap called.
Uenomachi showed her queens first and Landers remarked "No, no, I take it back." as she showed her pocked fives.
Melissa Landers: 5♠5♦
Sumire Uenomachi: Q♠Q♥
The 2♥5♥9♠ flop was good for Landers and a fellow opponent at the table remarked "No you don't." As Landers had flopped the set.
Things took a turn after the 6♥ was placed as Uenomachi had picked up some more outs, looking at a heart flush draw.
The Q♣ river sealed Landers fate, and she was eliminated after a "Brutal..." rollercoaster of a hand.
