Hello Ladies

Shamus

Yesterday Cherish Andrews was the only woman in the field for Day 1a, but today there are three women among the players who have come out thus far for Day 1b �� Jennifer So, Jeanette Baudouy, and Barbara Rogers.

Over at So's table three players just now saw a flop come , and it checked around to John Chapman who bet 900. Both Vincent Baldassano and So called Chapman's bet. All three then checked the turn. The river brought the , and when checked to Chapman again bet 900, and only So called.

"I've got a four," said Chapman, and when So showed her for nines, she took the pot.

Meanwhile Jeanette Baudouy at her table was raising to 350 from middle position and getting a single caller in Drew Heller in the big blind. The flop came , Heller checked, Baudouy bet 500, and Heller called. Both checked the turn, and when Heller bet 1,225 following the river, Baudouy let her hand go.

Finally, Barbara Rogers has been playing fairly tightly thus far through the first level-and-a-half. Not long ago Matthew Silberzweig raised to 325 from middle position and Rogers called from the cutoff, but when the flop came and he continued for 400, she let her hand go.
