Cryde Survives; Carter Takes a Beat

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Two players in the blinds checked to Olimpia May on a {5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Spades} flop, and she bet 3,500 from the hijack. The small blind called, and Kevin Cryde put his last 8,225 in from the big blind. May called, folding out the small blind.

May: {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Cryde: {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The dealer burned and turned a {j-Spades}, giving Cryde a boat, one he clearly didn't realize he had as he shouted for a red card on the river. He got his wish anyway as the {7-Diamonds} hit.

At another table, Bruce Carter, who was part of a nine-way chop of the $50,000 guaranteed earlier at this tour stop, took a bad beat when his {a-}{k-} was outdrawn on a king-high flop with two spades by a player holding {q-Spades}{9-Spades}.
