Event 10: Nichole Stringer Out in 33rd Place

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 28: 30,000/60,000/10,000 Ante

Mark Darner raised from the hijack to 125,000, Nichole Stringer moved all in from the small blind for 730,000, and Ivan Barbuto moved all in over the top for about 1,060,000. Darner folded.

Stringer turned over Ah4c, and she needed to improve to stay alive against Barbuto’s 6s6c.

The board came 8h8c3c5dJh, and the pocket sixes held up for Barbuto to win the pot, eliminating Stringer from the tournament.

Ivan Barbuto  –  1,985,000  (33 bb)
