\"Beth<\/a>

Beth Hamill (Riverchasers)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

The action was very deliberate on the money bubble with a $500 pay jump between 63rd and 64th and it took four rounds of hand-for-hand play to get them in the money.<\/p>\n

And when it was done, everyone was getting some cash.<\/p>\n

There were two all-ins called at two different tables, play was held up until all other hands were complete and they were run out.<\/p>\n

On one table, Beth Hamill (Riverchasers) was all in for her 2,000 ante. There’s was a limp from middle position before Fernando Contreras (Pikes Peak Poker) moved all in as well and the early limper released. Hamill ran into a monster when her A\u2666 7\u2663 was dominated by Contreras’ K\u2665\u00a0K\u2663 and Hamill could not find a save on the 7\u2660 6\u2660 5\u2666 Q\u2660 8\u2666 board to exit on the bubble.<\/p>\n

But there was another hand to settle.<\/p>\n

Thomas Wolfram (Suit Up Poker) was short on a neighboring table after doubling an opponent earlier and moved his 9,000 stack all in. Victoria Dixon (Riverchasers) called to put him at risk next to act and the rest of the table released. Wolfram was dominating\u00a0for the double up with K\u2665\u00a0Q\u2663 against Qs 8\u2666 and faded the 9\u2665 9\u2666 4\u2660 flop. The bad card came for him on the 8\u2665 turn and he\u00a0was eliminated after the A\u2663 river.<\/p>\n

Because both players were eliminated on the same hand at separate tables, they each chopped up the $500 for a 63rd place finish.<\/p>\n

Remaining payouts with 27 advancing to Day 2:<\/p>\n
