Shulman Falls to Nakagawa

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The board 2♠A♥8♠9♠6♣ was already dealt, with Allyn Shulman being the player at risk for a remaining stack around 400,000 against Elisa Nakagawa.

Shulman held 7♦7♠, which wasn't good enough to double up as Nakagawa had A♦K♠ for a pair of aces. Shulman was eliminated right before the three table redraw.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a hand just before the break, Janet Kanstrup opened from under the gun and Diana Shamshoum called from the cutoff. Robbi Jade Lew moved all in on the button for around 185,000 and both players called behind.

The 4♦3♥4♣ flop was checked to the 3♠ turn. Kanstrup bet 100,000 and Shamshoum called.

Kanstrup bet out 250,000 on the J♣ river, prompting Shamshoum to fold.

Robbi Jade Lew: A♦J♦ All in
Janet Kanstrup: A♠4♠

Lew was eliminated after seeing Kanstrup's boat.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Lisa Thumm started the action with a 50,000 in middle position. Sonia Shashikhina raised to 200,000, and Thumm called.

The dealer flopped 2♥10♣Q♥. Shashikhina fired 160,000 and Thumm announced all-in. Shashikhina snap-called, putting Thumm's tournament life on the line.

Lisa Thumm: A♣Q♣ All in
Sonia Shashikhina: Q♠Q♦

Once the hands were tabled, the players at the table groaned sympathetically for Thumm. The runout of 6♥9♠ didn't help Thumm at all. The ladies hugged, and Thumm left the table as the dealer pushed the pot towards Shashikhina.

Camille Brown, on another table, was seen walking out of the tournament floor at the same time.

All the chips went in the middle preflop between Xinwen Zhang, at risk with a short stack of 250,000 and Dorothy Ecaldre.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Julie Huynh raised and called the shove from Barbara Enright in the blinds, who was short stacked with around 350,000.

Barbara Enright: A♠A♣ All in
Julie Huynh: 8♣8♠

Enright was in great shape for a double up, and the board initially brought no surprises with 10♣3♦4♣3♣. However, the river fell 8♥, giving Huynh a set and eliminating the three-time WSOP bracelet winner from the event.

Brewer Runs Hot

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

After a player recalled how Christine Brewer had just cracked aces in a previous hand with her queen-seven off suit, Brewer found herself all in again with two opponents just a few hands later.

Lang Yi had opened from early position and Yansong Kou moved all in from the hijack for her remaining 300,000. Christine Brewer jammed on the button for 325,000, and Lang Yi called.

Yansong Kou: 8♦8♣ All in
Christine Brewer: Q♥Q♣ All in
Lang Yi: A♣A♥

Yi was ahead, and Brewer stood to watch the runout.

The J♠A♦K♠ came on the flop, improving Yi but also giving Brewer outs with the straight draw.

Brewer hit on the 10♦ turn, and nothing changed on the 6♥ river, securing yet another huge pot for Brewer and eliminating Kou from the tournament.
