Melanie Weisner Whacked

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

After a player raised to 2,000 from under-the-gun, Melanie Weisner made the call and then watched as the small blind moved all-in for 12,200. The original raiser folded but Weisner decided to put the small blind at risk and she came along.

Showdown:

Weisner: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

Weisner had woken up with a big ace, but her opponent held a better kicker and had Weisner in bad shape. The final board rolled out {8-Spades}{J-Spades}{Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{K-Spades} and Weisner's Broadway straight was second-best to her opponent's spade flush. She dropped to 38,000 with the loss but still holds a healthy stack as Day 1 winds down.
