Lisa Eckstein Eliminated in 9th Place ($5,686)
Benson Tam raised in late position and it folded to Lisa Eckstein in the big blind, who quickly put her approximately 1,000,000 chips into play. Tam called, easily covering and putting Eckstein at risk.
Lisa Eckstein: 10?10?
Benson Tam: Q?J?
The flop helped Tam immediately, rolling off K?7?J?, the A? on the turn had some of the table rooting for a Queen on the river, but her dreams of winning a bracelet today were thwarted when the 9? completed the board on the river.
Eckstein was heard throughout the tournament claiming that a woman would win again this year, especially when she was the last one standing. According to a friend of Eckstein on the rail; she was born with a deck of cards in her hand and has a family packed full of card players. She congratulated her opponents around the table before collecting her belongings and heading to the payout desk.
