Straight Takes Collins Out
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The heads-up hand was picked up on a flop of A♠J♥5♠. Jacqueline Collins, who was under the gun, bet 21,000. Lee Ilagan called from middle position.
The 10♣ fell on the turn. Ilagan checked and Collins moved all in. Ilagan quickly called.
Jacqueline Collins: A♦K♣
Lee Ilagan: K♦Q♣
Collins had flopped a pair of aces, but Ilagan had turned a Broadway Straight that couldn't be beaten.
Collins' only hope was a chop if a queen were to hit on the river. The 3♦ came instead and she was out of the tournament.
