Krashennikova Comes Crashing Down Against Tsai
Daria Krashennikova ran into a rut in back-to-back hands that saw her sent out from contention.
The first hand occurred when Krashennikova was on the button and clashed with Eric Tsai preflop. The chips got in the middle with Tsai at risk for 2,630,000.
Eric Tsai: K♠K♦
Daria Krashennikova: A♠A♦
Tsai was in deep trouble, but the flop changed his fortune in a hurry when it fanned out K♣5♦3♦ to give him a set of kings and put Krashennikova's aces in a horrible spot with two cards to go.
Krashennikova was unable to find her ace on the 7♦ turn or the 3♥ river as Tsai upgraded to a full house to leave Krashennikova on fumes.
The very next hand, Punnat Punsri opened to 160,000 from middle position. Krashennikova went all in for her final 215,000 from the cutoff before Tsai entered the pot with a three-bet to 700,000. Punsri folded as Krashennikova and Tsai were at it again, but this time it was Krashennikova at risk.
Daria Krashennikova: K♥10♥
Eric Tsai: 8♣8♦
Krashennikova had a fighting chance with her overcards, but they never appeared on the 3♣7♣9♦5♦7♥ runout to eliminate Krashennikova from the tournament.
