Jennifer Noone
Oscar Menjivar opened for 1.5 million on the button, then Jennifer Noone moved in for 5,425,000 from the small blind. Richard DeVito also shoved from the big blind, having her covered.
Oscar folded, later saying he had a Queen. That’s relevant, because Jennifer had AT and Richard had AK. The board came Q Q 4 J 7 and Richard took the pot with nut-no-pair (a call by Oscar would have felted both players).
Richard chipped up to about 15 million. Jennifer finished 17th for $5,577. She was the last woman remaining in the Almighty, so it’s all testosterone from here on.
