Ting Done; Blumenthal Crippled
Ting Ho had some success here at the WSOP Circuit Council Bluffs yesterday when she finished as runner-up to Nathan Bjerno in Event #9 $580 No-Limit Hold'em for $16,302. It was an impressive performance for the woman dating the current National Leaderboard points leader, Rex Clinkscales. Unfortunately for her, she wouldn't find the same success here on Day 1a.
Ting got her last 5,250 all in preflop holding the 
and was racing against the 
of Tony Hartman. According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Ting had a 45.63% chance of surviving the hand, though that dropped to just 12.73% on the 
flop. The 
turn gave Ting just a 9.09% chance of doubling, and the 
river dropped it to zero. Ting took her leave from the Day 1a flight and opted not to fire another bullet.
Meanwhile, Eddie Blumenthal was left with just 3,400 after he ran his 
into the 
of an opponent who was all in for 10,050. The board ran out an uneventful 
and Blumenthal was left with five big blinds.
