We lost Lisa Reilly just now, but she had a great run. She had just doubled up through (who else?) Marie-Claude Grondin on a wild hand, but then had the exact same luck reversed on her only a couple of hands later.

The first hand began with Lisa’s against Marie-Claude’s . The flop came down , and things looked bleak for Lisa. However, she caught a miraculous to make the wheel. It was probably the fifth or sixth time she had escaped doom that way, making a straight when she was behind in a hand.

Unfortunately, what goes around comes around, and Marie-Claude had the last laugh when she pulled a straight out of the fire to eliminate Lisa just a couple of hands later. This time Lisa had the stronger starting hand with an versus Marie-Claude’s . The board was dealt and we said goodbye to Lisa.

Her third place finish earned her $2,340. Congratulations! Not a bad pay day at all!
