Ellis Runs Good

On the last hand before the break, Tasha Ellis, Dennis Huntly and a third player were all involved in a preflop raising war. Ellis started the action with a raise to 625 that Huntly called. The player in the big blind then reraised to 2,025. Ellis debated her options before putting in a third raise to 5,000 straight. That raise agonized Huntly, but he eventually folded what he later said was ace-queen. The big blind had only 2,000 more behind his initial raise and shipped those chips in. His {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} were no match for Ellis' {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} when the board came {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {6-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {4-Spades}. Ellis added another 5,000 chips to her tournament-leading chip stack.
