: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Alan Carlson can lay claim to the most entries thus far, with six. Now he can also say he may have put the largest beat on another player as well. After a series of preflop raises, he had all of his chips in the middle against Cindy Thao with Thao being at risk for just under 100,000.
Cindy Thao: A♥A♦[allin
Alan Carlson: 5♥5♣
Thao was in great shape until the flop of 9♣8♣7♣ hit the felt, providing a wealth of outs for Carlson. The K♦ on the turn was safe for Thao but it was the 6♣ on the river that gave Carlson a straight flush and finally a healthy stack.
