Roberts busted when he three-bet jammed for 430,000 over an open to 120,000 from Krissi McFarland with the blinds at 20,000/40,000/5,000. McFarland tank-called, and her
The next two players out were Jon Wood and Lee Abramson. With the blinds at 25,000/50,000/5,000, Abramson opened to 110,000 on the button, and Fielder three-bet to 240,000 from the small blind. After Abramson made the call, the flop fell

The first player to bust from the final table was Doug Ashmore. With the blinds at 30,000/60,000/10,000, Ashmore open-jammed for his last 330,000 from middle position.
