Make That Double Bacon

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Melissa Gillett raised to 55,000 from the hijack, and Adam Bacon moved all in for 184,000 from the small blind. Gillett thought for a moment and eventually called.

Bacon tabled {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, at risk against the chip leader who held {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Bacon still needed either a king or a jack to double up or he was out the door. The turn was the {8-Clubs} and Gillett paired her eight, but it changed nothing. The river, however, was the {j-Diamonds} and Bacon survived to see another hand.

Gillett Busts Another One

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

With over 200,000 in the pot and the board reading {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, Yu Li moved all in and put his opponent, Melissa Gillett, to the test. Gillett sat and pondered what do for several minutes and finally came to the conclusion of calling. Li said "nice call" before even seeing his opponent's hand as he rolled over {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Gillett tabled {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and when the {5-Hearts} came on the river she improved to a full house eliminating Li from the tournament.

After the hand, Phil Collins stated from across the table, "All these young kids want to misbehave. But you're a principal, this is what you deal with for a living."

Lisser's Stack is Shaved Off by Gillett

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Robert Lisser
Robert Lisser

Action folded around to Robert Lisser in the small blind, and he decided to move all in for his last 117,000 chips.

Australia's Melissa Gillett was in the big blind and had a mountain of chips in front of her, as she came in to the day as the overwhelming chip leader. After a few moments, Gillett called.

Lisser tabled {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Gillett showed {a-Spades}{5-Clubs}.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Gillett picked up a pair of fives, putting Lisser in even more danger holding two under cards.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and Lisser picked up some outs to make a flush or a straight. But the river was the {6-Clubs} and Lisser was unable to improve, sending him to the rail in 23rd place.
