Dhanani Busts Okamoto's First Bullet
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Shiina Okamoto was seen exiting the tournament area, having been eliminated by Salima Dhanani just prior.
As recounted by players at the table, Dhanani held 9x2x against Okamoto's 7x6x on a board of 2x6x9x7x when both players got all in on the turn.
The 10x river kept Dhanani's higher two pair best and Okamoto was eliminated.
The defending champion can still reenter, if she chooses, as late registration will remain open until the start of Level 9.
