Bridgette Adkins limped UTG+1 for 8,000, Alejandra Reidel moved all in from the button for 45,000, and Brittani Nguyen moved all in over the top from the big blind for 140,000. Adkins quickly folded.

Reidel turned over Ac10d, and she needed to improve to stay alive against Nguyen’s 4s4h.

The board came AhKs6h9d10s, and Reidel paired her ace on the flop and her ten on the river to win the pot with two pair and double up in chips.

Alejandra Reidel  –  110,000  (14 bb)

A little more than five minutes later, Sahar Khajavi raised from the hijack to 22,000, Nguyen moved all in from the cutoff for 90,000, and Khajavi thought for a while before she called with 4h4c.

Nguyen turned over Ac9s, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Qc8s7h2d6d, and the pocket fours held up for Khajavi to win the pot and eliminate Nguyen in seventh place.

Toast to the Ladies Event
The players at the final table of the Ladies Event toast each other between hands. From left to right: Sahar Khajavi, Ritika Goyal, Delia the dealer (seated), Brittani Nguyen, Vanessa Kade, Rinat Haviv, Mica Lamar, Alejandra Reidel, and Ana Huete.

With the blinds still at 2,000-4,000, Vanessa Kade raised from middle position to 10,000, Bridgette Adkins called from middle position, and Alejandra Reidel moved all in from the button for 41,000. Kade folded, and Adkins thought for a while before she called with KcJc.

Reidel turned over 8s8d, and needed her hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came 10c8c5h2d10d, and Reidel flopped a set of eights and rivered a full house to win the pot and double up in chips.

Alejandra Reidel  –  102,000  (26 bb)
Bridgette Adkins  –  135,000  (34 bb)


Two levels later, after the blinds increased to 3,000-6,000, Brittani Nguyen moved all in from UTG+1 for 34,000, and Mica Lamar called from the hijack with AcJh.

Nguyen turned over 2s2c, and needed her hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came KsJs8h6sAs — Lamar paired her jack on the flop to take the lead, and caught an ace on the river for two pair, but Nguyen rivered a spade flush to win the pot and double up in chips.

Brittani Nguyen  –  83,000  (14 bb)
Mica Lamar  –  115,000  (19 bb)


About five minutes later, Ritika Goyal got it all in from the button for 51,000 with As2h, but she needed to improve to stay alive against the KxKx of Bridgette Adkins, who was under the gun.

The board came QhQd9cQcAd, and Goyal spiked an ace on the river to win the pot with a higher full house, queens full of aces, and double up in chips.

Rikita Goyal  –  116,000  (19 bb)
Bridgette Adkins  –  175,000  (29 bb)


The next hand, Vanessa Kade raised from the small blind to 20,000, and Bridgette Adkins called from the big blind.

The flop came Kh5s2d, Kade bet 15,000, and Adkins called. The turn card was the Ad, Kade bet 20,000, Adkins moved all in for 116,000, and Kade called with Ac5h for two pair, aces and fives. But Adkins turned over 4s3h for a five-high straight, and she needed it to hold to stay alive.

The river card was the 7c, and Adkins won the pot with her straight to double up in chips.

Bridgette Adkins  –  308,000  (51 bb)
Vanessa Kade  –  175,000  (29 bb)

Event 12 Final Table - Ladies Event
Event 12 Final Table

After the elimination of Katya Rodriguez in 11th place, the final two tables began hand-for-hand play on the Money Bubble.

In Hand #2 of hand-for-hand play, Bridgette Adkins and Sherriee Williams played a hand to the river on a board of Qd7c3sJd5d, and that’s where Adkins got it all in for 59,000, with Williams barely covering her with 61,000.

Williams showed KdJs for a pair of jacks, but Adkins turned over 6s4d for a seven-high straight to win the pot and double up in chips. Williams was knocked all the way down to just 2,000 — less than a single big blind.

Bridgette Adkins  –  160,000  (40 bb)
Sherriee Williams  –  2,000  (<1 bb)

Bubble Finisher Sherriee Williams

There wasn’t much action for the next three hands, and then in Hand #6, Sherriee Williams was forced all in for her last 2,000, which went into the center for the big blind ante. Three players limped into the pot, and then checked all the way down.

The final board showed Qh9d8h5s6d, and then all four players turned over their cards.

Mica Lamar:  Qd6c  (two pair, queens and sixes)
Bridgette Adkins:  Kh8d  (pair of eights)
Sahar Khajavi:  3s2h  (three high)
Sherriee Williams:  8c3d  (pair of eights)

Mica Lamar won the pot with her two pair to eliminate Williams on the Money Bubble in 10th place.
