Fisher Finds A Ten On The River

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

As the whole team was typing up various hands, we heard a shriek of excitement, so we went to go investigate. We saw that Karen Fisher had just won a big pot to eliminate Lauren Billings. Fisher told us that after Billings raised to 8,000 preflop, she shoved with {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. BIllings made the call, and showed {a-}{k-}.

The flop didn't treat Fisher well, coming {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. The turn kept her behind, as it brought the {j-Spades}. However, Fisher binked the {10-Hearts} on the river to take down the pot and eliminate Billings. Fisher had to sit down from all the excitment, and remained speechless for a few seconds, before bluntly saying "I'm too old for this s**t!" Regardless of that, Fisher is surely still happy to be in, and is now sitting on 150,000.
