Event 10 Day 1E: Girl Power

$150 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 12: 800/1,600/200 Ante

Two ladies are taking the boys to school as we get ready for the final break of the night.  Paula Holder looks to have the biggest stack in the room and Lois Bovit just joined her.  Bovit was against another big stack, Denis Mendoza, after one player had already pushed his short stack all-in.  Bovit successfully disguised flopped quad sixes to take down the hand and dealt a big blow to Mendoza.

The ladies will try to go 1-2 in Day 1E with two levels to play and 24 players remaining.
