As recapped , an unknown under-the-gun player opened to 5,000 and it folded to Raymond Ruszkowski. Ruszkowski, who wasn’t aware of the UTG players’ open, tried to make it 4,800. After some clarification, he was forced to call the 5,000. It folded to one of the newest members of the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Team, Loni Hardwood, and she called. They saw the flop three handed.

The flop fell with two hearts and all three players checked.

The turn brought a flush and Harwood lead. The UTG player folded and Ruszkowski called. They were heads up to the river.

Harwood jammed when the board completed with the and Ruszkowski quickly called tabling pocket aces for aces-full. Harwood’s flush was second best and she hit the rail. Ruszkowski, meanwhile, catapulted toward the top of the counts.

Raymond Ruszkowski – 345,000 (172 bb)
Loni Harwood – Eliminated
