Linda Durden Eliminated in 4th Place ($58,910)

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Linda Durden

Linda Durden has been eliminated in the following three hands:

According to her husband and biggest fan Don, Durden is a die-hard poker fan and watches every PokerGO stream she can. She vocally spoke about more women entering the field and is determined to play more poker in the future.

On the first hand competitor Ceci Liao doubled up through Durden with almost equal stacks but Liao was at risk. Liao raised on the button to 210,000 and Durden flat called from the big blind. The flop came out with 9?4?8? and Durden announced all in and Liao made the quick call.

Ceci Liao: K?K? All in
Linda Durden: K?J?

Although most of the rail cheered for a ten for the gut shot straight, the board did not give it and Liao doubled her stack. This left Durden with 1 big blind. The turn Q? and A? on the river did not change the result.
On the second hand:

Durden was all in with 1bb and the crowd shouted, "Linda, Linda, Linda, chip and a chair", the loudest one being her husband.

Linda Durden: 6?3? All in
Jamie Kerstetter: A?5?

The board came out with 9?7?Q?3?K? and Durden doubled up and stayed alive with her pair of threes.

On the final hand Durden was eliminated by Kerstetter.

Linda Durden: 9?9? All in
Jamie Kerstetter: A?7?

Durden called for a nine but it did not come and a massive boo was heard on the rail when the flop opened up with an ace. The official board was 3?A?6?K?2? and Durden made her exit with a positive handshake for all the ladies.

After Linda's exit and many hands later, the rail were still cheering, "We want Linda".
