"Miami" John Cernuto bet out on fourth street when we got to the table, and Frank Kassela called. On fifth and sixth street, Cernuto bet once again, and Kassela called once again. Both players checked seventh, and the cards were revealed. Kassela showed for a pair and a missed low draw, and Cernuto showed for a pair of aces, which was good enough to win the pot.
Jay Helfert fired out on fifth with Karina Jett and Michael Leah both calling, Jett took over the betting on sixth and seventh as Helfert became more cautious, checking when first to act. Leah also called on sixth but folded on seventh when Jett bet again, Helfert though made the call.
"Wheel," said Jett showing . It was good enough for the whole pot once more.
Maria Ho has just been eliminated, but despite that, there are still six ladies alive in this tournament with 80 players left. This includes the likes of Karina Jett, who is our current chip leader, Cyndy Violette, and Kristy Gazes. We have already had two women finish runner up in earlier tournaments. Could this tournament show that the third times the charm? Only time will tell.
Karina Jett has been on a roll today, and she has just won another pot to keep her as the only player over 100,000 in the room. We caught the action on fifth street, where James Darnaby bet out. Jett raised him, and Darnaby called. Jett then bet out on sixth and seventh street, and Darnaby called both times. Jett turned over for a nine-high straight and a seven-low, and Darnaby mucked. Jett is currently sitting at 104,000, while Darnaby drops to 26,000.
The pot was already massive whe it got to seventh street, Violette and Barbaro both checked to Bronshtein who bet and both called with Barbaro calling all in. Bronstein said, "I'm only rolled up, I haven't got anything else," showing trip sixes.
Violette flipped 8-5-4-3-2 for a low, Barbaro could only make a 8-7-6-4-A low and a pair of sevens and got scooped by the other two players, getting eliminated as a result.
We came to the table on fifth street with Karina Jett betting out, and getting called by Michael Leah and Stanley Schrier. Jett bet out on sixth street, and again both players called. Everyone checked on seventy, and Jett showed for two pair, and both her opponents mucked. With that pot, Jett is the first players over 100,000, as she is sitting on 107,000.
