Event 3: Chip Co-Leaders

$400 + $50 No Limit Hold'em

Made my first pass through the No Limit event.  They're down to 80 players already.

I caught the tail-end of a hand involving Ashira Lavine (Rockville, MD).  A short-stack was all-in on a A J x flop, holding AT for top pair.  Ashira (who was the pre-flop aggressor) made the call with KQ (gutshot).

A Queen on the turn gave her second pair, then a Ten hit the river, completing her straight and busting her opponent.

Ashira Lavine & Charles Furey

With that pot she chipped up to about 100k, roughly the same as Charles Furey, who is seated on her immediate left.

Ashira has a WSOP Circuit preliminary win ($21k) and a Ladies event win, along with a 14th place finish in the $1k No Limit event at the 2010 WSOP ($31k) on her poker resume and is looking to book another big finish today.
