Robert LeBeau

Robert LeBeau open-shoved for 325,000 from early position and Kitty Kuo reshipped for 495,000. The rest of the table folded and LeBeau was at risk.

LeBeau needed to improve to double and paired his queen on the QcTd2s flop to take the lead. The Kc turn and 9s river finished the board and he made his double while leaving Kuo down to only 170,000.

She made it through one hand but was gone on the next in 42nd place. Roman Pumpernick followed shortly after Kuo and tournament staff broke a table with the field down to 40.
