Everest Poker - Spanish Poker Tour

Maria Macieras Hand Replay

.May. takes down a nice pot

Last Hand Before the Break:

.May. is in the small blind and action is folded around to her, with the blinds at 150-300 and a 25 dollar ante. She raises up to 800, but the BB defends his blind and re-raises her to 2300. She calls.

FLOP: Jd 10h 6c, action goes check check.

TURN: 5h, she bets out $2,500 and BB calls

RIVER: Qc, check check.

She shows Ad Jh for the winning hand, BB mucks.

A look at the Everest Poker WSOP Leaderboard

Here is what the leaderboard for Everest Pros and Qualifiers look like with one level left to play:

Team Everest Pro Kim Wooka eliminated

With the action slowly folding round to Wooka Kim in the small blind, she opened with a raise to 700.

Steve Paul-Ambrose made the call from the big blind, and when Kim checked the 9c-10c-2s flop, he fired out 900.

Kim then made it 3,000 to go before Paul-Ambrose instantly made it 10,000 to put Kim all in. Kim obliged by sliding her last ten yellow 1,000-denomination chips into the pot and the cards were tabled.

Kim: As-Ad
Paul-Ambrose: Kc-Kd

With Paul-Ambrose in bad shape to only a king, or running straight or flush cards, he would hit gin on the turn when it landed the Kh.

Now needing to catch her two-outer to stay alive, Kim would unfortunately only see the Jd land on the river, and a hasty exit follow.

Kim Wooka is OUT

Bad luck Kim - she held aces against Kings. Flop shows 10-10-8.

Her opponent gets a King on the Turn.

Luckily, Steven 'Viktor' Van Zaddelhof and Dutch compatriot Daan 'Krul' Slutter are among the chip leaders of the WSOP Main Event 2009.
