Mijares Eliminates Graham In Cold Fashion
Spencer Champlin was under the gun and opened to 8,500, getting folds around to Richard Mijares, who was on the button and called. Svetlana Martie and Ruth Graham also came along from the small- and big blinds, respectively, to take action four ways postflop.
The flop came 
and action checked to Mijares, who put out a bet of 27,000. Martie folded. Graham then check-raised all in, getting a fold from Champlin.
Upon request, the dealer pulled in Mijares' bet. He saw that he had another 26,500 left to call and put in chips to do so.
Ruth Graham: 
Richard Mijares: 
Graham was out in front with top pair, needing to fade the remaining kings and tens in the deck. However, the turn 
would send shivers down her spine, leaving her with just one last chance at hitting a queen or nine to improve to beyond Mijares' tens. The river 
stuck the dagger in her evening as the runout had been completed.
"Womp, womp, womp," Graham said, wishing the rest of the table good luck and a good night as she left the tournament area.
Meanwhile, Martie was left with around 30,000 and was eliminated from the tournament shortly thereafter. Drazen Ilich was also recently eliminated.
