Shashikhina Eliminates Mazet

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Florence Mazet open-shoved in cutoff for 250,000 and Sonia Shashikhina announced all-in right after on the button sending Dorothy Ecaldre int he big blind to the tank. She counted her chips but ultimately decided to fold her hand, leaving the other two women to head to showdown.

Florence Mazet: K♦Q♥ All in
Sonia Shashikhina: A♠J♠

Shashikhina held an ace-high lead, and the flop of 10♥5♣J♥ strengthened her advantage. Mazet, however, had a bit of hope as she had an open-ended straight draw. Sadly, the runout 7♠5♠ didn't work to her favor ending her tournament life instantly.
