Tom Arnett Rivers a Set, Busts One Player

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Elizabeth Montizanti raised and another player went all in before Tom Arnett shoved all in for just under 11,000. Montizanti called with {a-}{k-}.

Arnett had pocket nines — {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} — and the third player also had {a-}{k-}.

The flop brought an ace, but the board ran out {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, giving Arnett a set. Montizanti was left with roughly the starting stack and Arnet stacked close to 30,000.

Lonnie Harwood had just lost a big chunk of her stack to Craig Hartman. On the next hand, she tossed her remaining 350 into the pot, going all in. Mohsin Charania reraised to 800 before another player shoved all in for about 17,000. Charania folded and left Harwood heads up for her tournament life.

Harwood had {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} against the {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} of her opponent.

"I like her hand," said her opponent.

The board came {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Harwood won the pot for the triple-up.
