Nancy Birnbaum sweats the dealer

Nancy Birnbaum has plenty of cashes in our big games and she picked up another one this afternoon. But her aspirations were higher and she put her last 110,000 in the middle near the end of the level.

She picked up a caller and was in good shape for the double.

Birnbaum: AdQh
Opponent: AcJh

The three-time WSOP Circuit champ had to dodge a jack or some messy cards to stay in the game. The 8s6s2s flop was harmless but the Ks turn gave her some chop concerns. The river was a black card but the 7c was safe for her double.

Birnbaum already has success early in the series after she made her ninth major SHRP final table in the Omaha/8 tournament.

Shortly after that hand, Level 20 came to an end and players were sent on another 30-minute break.
