Congrats to Jesus Castillo as he becomes one of only a few players to bag at both TCH locations. Castillo wins an additional $5,000 bonus and will take his best bag forward.
On blinds of 6,000/12,000/12,000, Jestin Joseph opened UTG to 24,000. Peng Li called in the hijack and Debbie Lee moved all in from the button for 154,000. Joseph flicked one chip in as a call. Li folded.
Joseph: A♣K♣
Lee: 9♠9♦
Runout: T♦3♣2♥K♦5♦
Lee held on the ten high flop but the turn belonged to Joseph. Lee had to find a two-outer on the river which never came. She was eliminated.
Lee walks away with $960 for her 9th place finish and the final 8 players are bagging up to return for Sunday's Day 2 restart.
