Cullen the Field

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

After registering one of the latest reentries of the day, Valerie Novak managed to work her second 20,000 stack into a reasonable holding late here tonight. Unfortunately for Novak, however, her slow and steady grind just came to a screeching halt.

Squaring off against Frank Cullen and holding {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, Novak was ready to double up or die trying, and it happened to be the latter. On a {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop Novak called off her last 12,000 or so when Cullen bet enough to force her all in.

��You have a jack?,�� asked Novak, disappointed to see Cullen��s {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} hit the felt. ��Jack-ten huh�� nice hand.��

��Short stack ma��am, just like you���� replied Cullen. ��Nothing I could do there.��

The turn ({5-Hearts}) and river ({3-Spades}) changed nothing and Novak was left with just a single purple T500 chip �C and despite having a chair to go along with her chip, her tournament ended on the next deal.
