Under the gun, Al Riccobono limped into the pot for 600. The only problem was that the blinds were 4-800. When the dealer pointed out his mistake, Riccobono innocently added the extra 200 to his call. Will "The Thrill" Failla was next, and he moved all in for about 8,500. Action came to Sheree Bykofsky, and she announced a re-raise, putting out 17,000 chips. When it got back to Riccobono, he moved all in for a total of 38,000. Bykofsky called, putting two players at risk of elimination.
Showdown:
Riccobono:
Failla:
Bykofsky:
Lightning struck on the flop as the dealer peeled off a third , vaulting Bykofsky into the lead. The rest of the board failed to help either of the all-in players, and Bykofsky's set of queens took down this huge pot.
With one blow, she eliminates two dangerous players, chipping herself way up; she is dangerously close to the 100,000-chip mark now.
