Landers Out Set on the River

Laura Fryer

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

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♦ All in
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.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Tammy Vaught opened to 10,000 from late position and Stephani Hagberg three-bet to 30,000 from the hijack. Sigrid Dencker four-bet jammed for around 56,000 and only Hagberg called.

Sigrid Dencker: 9♣9♥ All in
Stephani Hagberg: K♣K♥

Dencker needed to improve, but Hagberg improved on the K♦A♥5♠ flop.

There was no hope for Dencker on the 7♣ turn and she stood from the table as the dealer placed the J♦ river.

Vaught had only 86,000 left after the hand but picked up the blinds by shoving for her remaining stack next hand.

She got it through and showed A♥Q♦.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The board already showed J♦10♣5♠8♣ with a large pot in the middle when Kristy White checked to Haven Taylor who shoved. White, at risk for a remaining stack around 80,000, tanked for some time and eventually called.

Taylor tabled Q♥J♥ for top pair while White had 10♦9♣ and she busted after the K♦ completed the board.

Sumire Uenomachi raised from the hijack to 10,000, and Nancy Birnbaum made the call in the cutoff. The flop arrived with 2♣4♥9♣, and Uenomachi bet out 13,000, and Birnbaum raised to 35,000. Uenomachi called.

On the turn 6♥, Birnbaum led out with 50,000, and Uenomachi moved all in for 65,000. Birnbaum was pot-committed at this point and called.

Before flipping over her cards, Birnbaum stated, "Nice hand you win".

10♠10♣ All in
A♠2♠

The river was an inconsequential 7♣, and Uenomachi scooped the pot.
