Oh Fuchs!

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

A-5 Triple Draw

The 2015 $1,500 Dealer's Choice champ, Carol Fuchs, recently lost a good portion of her stack. There was about 8,000 in the pot already when Fuchs raised a bet after the second draw only to get three-bet by the initial raiser. Fuchs flatted and both players patted.

Fuchs check-called a bet and mucked when her opponent tabled a wheel. "Draw two and hit a wheel..." Fuchs said as her opponent was pushed the sizable pot.

One Down, Two Still Hunting

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

One of the three former champions has fallen. 2015 champ Carol Fuchs has just been eliminated late on Day 1. There is still hope for a two-time champ, even a sweat for a back-to-back champion, as 2014 champ Robert Mizrachi and last year's winner Lawrence Berg remain.

Mizrachi is sitting on a healthy stack while Berg is one of the tournament big stacks.
