Players Remaining: 180/354 original entries
Debbi Hinton had previously been up to almost 100,000, but a recent visit to her table showed her down to 43,600. She limped into a pot with two others to see the flop fall [Qh][9h][Kd]. The big blind led out for an undetermined amount, which Debbi flat called. Two seats over, a player raised to 11,000, prompting the big blind to 3-bet to 27,600. Debbi moved in for her last 42,600, putting the decision back on the raiser. He took his time folding his hand before the big blind called the remaining chips, proudly tabling [Jh][Td] for the flopped nots. Debbi was live, however, with her [Kh][6h] for top pair and a flush draw. The raiser said he folded top two pair, lowering Debbi's odds slightly. The [8s] turn changed nothing but the [7h] on the river meant Debbi completed her flush, bringing her back up to a top stack of 100,700.
