On an ace-high flop, Tiffany shove re-raised over the top of Peter Eastgate with A-J only to run smack into his pocket aces. Brutal. The flop and river were of no help and she exited the Main Event in 17th place, the deepest a woman had finished since the year 2000, earning $334,534 for her magnificent efforts. However, in an interesting statistical analysis (done by someone else), it turns out that Tiffany has beaten a higher percentage of the starting Main Event field than any other female in history, beating out Tiffany "Crazy Bitch" Williamson by three one-hundredths of a percentage point. Yay.

So, as out interest in this tournament wanes, we begin to focus on the remaining 15 players and the one mildly interesting person left in the tournament is David "Chino" Rheem, and he just double-up a couple of time to get back up toward the top of the chip count. Peter Eastgate is the current chip leader courtesy of Tiffany's chips (bastard) and he is followed by Scott Montgomery, who final tabled the WPT LAPC that we went to earlier this year.

In a touching interview/ceremony, Tiffany and Maria reversed roles and Maria interviewed Tiffany for PokerNews much like Tiffany had done for Maria almost exactly a year ago. The two good friends symbolically transferred the crown and Tiffany spoke of the emotions of the moment and how she was so happy to have proven herself in the poker world as much more than a pretty face. After the interview, we spoke to Maria who told us that if she had to give up her title, then she could not have picked a better person to take it from her.

Maria finished 38th last year to cash out for about $237k. With 35 players remaining in the Main Event, Tiffany has already run deeper than Maria but with the adjusted payouts for this year's event, she hasn't out-earned her as of yet. Remaining players will walk with at least $193k and Tiffany won't reach Maria's payout level until 27th place. Nothing like a little friendly competition to spur ambition.
