Christy Cranford Eliminated in 23rd Place ($5,810)

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Christy Cranford - Eliminated in 23rd place.
Christy Cranford - Eliminated in 23rd place.

Christy Cranford held the chip lead just a couple of hours ago, but she lost a few big pots and has just been eliminated in another big pot. Karen Fisher came in for a raise to 12,000 in early position, and Cranford called in middle position. Everyone else folded, and they both checked a flop of {2-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The turn came the {4-Diamonds}, and Fisher checked to Cranford, who bet out 12,000. Fisher called, and when the river came the {k-Clubs}, Fisher instantly moved all in.

Cranford tanked for two minutes, then asked the dealer if she could show her hand to try to get a read on her opponent. The floor was called over, and she was told that she would receive a penalty if she did. Cranford didn't, and after another minute or so, she called and showed {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Fisher showed {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a rivered pair of kings, and she took down the monster pot to boost her up to 280,000.
