Whitlow Makes Full House to Eliminate Waki
Fabio Peluso open raised to 2,200 from early position. Yasuhiro Waki called, as did Judy Whitlow in the small blind and Paul Daragon in the big blind.
The flop came 9?Q?7? and Judy Whitlow led out for 3,000. Daragon folded and the preflop aggressor, Peluso, raised to 8,500. Waki called, as did Whitlow.
The turn was the 6? and action folded around to Peluso, who bet out 5,000. Waki then moved all in for a touch over 30,000 chips. Whitlow announced her call and Peluso got out of the way. Players flipped their cards, with Waki at risk.
Yasuhiro Waki: Q?10?
Judy Whitlow: 7?7?
Waki had top pair and Whitlow had a set of sevens. The river came the 6? to further improve Whitlow's hand, giving her the better full house with sevens full. She chipped up to over 100,000 and Waki was eliminated from the tournament.
