Stephanie Hubbard Lays Down Queens
Stephanie Hubbard (top right) shows pocket queens as she folds to a five-bet from Shanmukha Meruga (bottom left).

Stephanie Hubbard raised under the gun to 1,700, Shanmukha Meruga reraised from the small blind to 5,800, and Hubbard reraised to 14,200.

Meruga went into the tank, asking Hubbard how many chips she had behind — there’s about 57,000 remaining in her stack, and Meruga has her covered. Meruga eventually five-bet it to 25,800.

Hubbard thought for a bit before she folded QxQx face up, and then Meruga confirmed she made the right decision by showing his KsKh. Meruga took the pot.

Shanmukha Meruga  –  120,000  (150 bb)
Stephanie Hubbard  –  57,000  (71 bb)

The field is up to 625 entries here on Day 1B, with registration open until 8:45 pm.
