Will Event #46 Crown 2023's First Female Bracelet Winner?

Livello 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Evelyn Cole - Shannon Boone - Elaine Rawn

Unfortunately for her many fans, poker commentator Jamie Kerstetter was seen leaving the tournament area so it won't be her holding up the gold today.

In 2022, Katie Kopp started it off with a bang, winning Event #1: Casino Employees.

Perkins Doubles Through Le

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Maureen Bloechlinger raised to 250,000 from early position and was called by Dinh Le in the small blind.

Christopher Perkins seized the opportunity to squeeze all in from the big blind for roughly 1,000,000 and after Bloechlinger folded, Le made the call.

Christopher Perkins: K♦K♥
Dinh Le: 8♥5♥

Le would need some help against the kings of Perkins, but the full runout of 3♣Q♦6♣10♣4♥ would not do so, giving Perkins the full double-up.

Dinh Le	2,225,000 1,775,000	1,775,000

Livello 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Derek Brumbaugh moved all in for 1,350,000 from under the gun and was looked up by Nicholas Ronalds in the small blind.

Derek Brumbaugh: A♥9♠
Nicholas Ronalds: 10♦10♥

Brumbaugh was in rough shape and had one foot out the door after the flop came 9♦7♦10♣. The K♥ turn saw the at risk player get up from his seat and wish the rest of the table good luck before the 4♥ river completed the board.

Lockett Gets Lucky to Oust Piboule

Livello 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Maximillen Piboule was all in and at risk against Jay Lockett.

Maximillen Piboule: A♦K♦
Jay Lockett: A♣Q♥

Piboule, though at risk, had his opponent dominated and was well placed to get a huge double. The 3♠6♣Q♠ flop immediately turned the tables on Piboule, who suddenly found himself on the ropes. The Q♦ turn put the nail in the coffin prior to the inconsequential 8♠ river as Piboule lifted his hands in frustration, his deep run ended by a bad beat.

Livello 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Lori Persinger in the cutoff was all in and at risk against Preston McEwen in the big blind.

Lori Persinger: K♠Q♣
Preston McEwen: K♥2♦

Persinger was in a good spot to double, that is until the board ran out K♣2♥7♣5♠4♥ to improve McEwen to two pair and leave Persinger heading to the payout desk, snapping a photo of the bad beat as she left.
