On the river, the board read Q 8 5 7 4 (no flush possible). The player in the small blind checked it over to Rhoda Rosenkowitz (Queens, NY) who moved all in. After a few minutes in the tank, the small blind called all-in, putting his tournament life on the line with AQ (top pair, top kicker). Rhoda showed A6 suited for the straight to take the pot, busting her opponent.
Rhoda Rosenkowitz
It took Rhoda quite a while to stack all those chips, but it came up to about 420k, making her the first woman with over 400k in chips.
Ryan Wood is up to ~500k, becoming the second player to reach that milestone.
Down to 25 tables (250 players). Average stack is 147,200.
