Jennifer Tilly
The game, played at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno with blinds of US$25/US$50 and a US$50 big blind ante, started with immediate action. Dan “Jungleman” Cates
Cates raised the stakes again with a 4-bet to US$1,500. Tilly called and both found an ace on the flop 9 A J. After calling bets of US$1,300 on the flop and US$3,000 on the turn, she reached the river facing a bomb of US$12,500.
Tilly thought for long seconds and ended up calling. Jungleman showed his A-K and took a pot of US$36,675.
But that was just the prologue.

Her 4-bet to US$10,000 scared Lindgren, but not Deeb.
The flop 6 9 6 lit the fuse. Tilly bet another US$10,000 and Deeb responded by pushing all his chips for US$23,400. The call was instant.
US$68,400 was at stake.
Deeb asked to run it once. There was no miracle: 4 on the turn and 5 on the river. The aces held and Tilly took the huge pot.
The result was devastating. Jennifer finished with US$115,125 and a profit of US$85,125, while Deeb ended with losses of US$80,000.
Phil Hellmuth also ended up hurt, US$20,000 down. But this time not even the host could steal the show.
