Event 15: The Comeback of Abbey Daniels

by

$570 No Limit Hold’em (Single Re-Entry)
Level 15: 1,200/2,400/400 Ante

At the dinner break, Abbey Daniels was down to 4,900 in chips — just three big blinds at the time. But she came back from dinner strong, and has built up her stack to 73,000 (30 big blinds).

Her latest hand came just after the field reached the money. After a flop of 9d7s3c, a player got it all in with 8h8c, but Daniels had him covered with 9s5c.

The turn was the 9h, the river was the Qd, and Daniels won the pot with trip nines to eliminate her opponent in 27th place and continue her comeback.
