No Day 2 For Kristy Arnett

PokerNews hostess Kristy Arnett has just been eliminated from the World Series of Poker Main Event with just 30 minutes of play left on Day 1a.

The flop read {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Arnett shoved all in over the 4,000-chip raise from the player to her right. While he was tanking she told us the following.

The player to her right had limped under the gun, and Arnett raised it up to 1,400. The other players folded and the limper, Moacyr Arnaldo Farah, called. On the flop, Farah checked and Arnett fired out 1,600. At this point Farah made it 4,000 and Arnett moved all in for around 12,000 chips. Arnett's opponent paused before making the call.

Kristy Arnett{J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Moacyr Arnaldo Farah{Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The turn was the {2-Clubs}, and the river the {8-Spades}, knocking out Arnett. Hopes and dreams were shattered this year for Arnett, but our guess is we'll be seeing her back in action next year.
