One Woman Left
Alicia Spencer is the last woman standing in Event No. 7 here in the Amazon room. Spencer has a couple of final tables on her resume, but this will be her most-important cash to date. Spencer held the chip lead earlier in the day for a brief little bit and now has about 42,000 chips as we enter the next level of play.
Last year, Julie Schneider final tabled this very event and came in third so it's going to be interesting to see if Spencer can either match or top Schneider's run. Spencer is from Washington, DC and is the girlfriend of Mike "Crazy Mike" Thorpe. A well-known player in his own right, Thorpe is on the rail watch Spencer make her run, but he's been getting hounded by some of the other players in the tournament for being the guy who's railing his girlfriend as she already outlasted him in this event and goes deeper and deeper.
