Monica Payraudeau

It took a long time for Flight A to reach the money bubble portion of the day and another good chunk of the clock to burst it. Several players were getting very short and that slowed down the action as players tried to sweat the bubble.

On the 10th round of hand-for-hand, one player was all in from the big blind for only 7,000. Monica Payraudeau came along from early position and the small blind player stayed in. The flop came Td9d5c and Payraudeau bet 20,000 after the small blind checked dark.

He folded and the tabled their hands after the rest of the action was completed on the other tables.

Payraudeau: QdQc
Big Blind: AhTh

The big blind player picked up a solid hand, paired his ten, but could not find a double as the board finished Kd and Kc.

On happy player was Erik Greulach. He was one of the other short stack players and slid into the money with only 7,000 of his own when he was next up in the big blind.
