Thomas Gone In 6th ($40,169)
Like Hellmuth’s memorable win wasn’t meant to be tonight, neither was Mandy Thomas’s. Thomas was 5 players away from being the first woman bracelet winner of 2010, but fell short of that goal shortly after Hellmuth busted.
On that hand, Thomas put in a raise from the small blind only to have Ben Lamb re-raise from the big blind enough to put Thomas all in. She called and they showed down:
Lamb: A753
Thomas: J832
The board ran 62KJA to give Lamb a flush and Thomas was gone in 6th place.
Thomas nearly became the first woman to win a bracelet in 2010, but ultimately had to settle for the $40,169 sixth-place prize.
