Isle Poker Classic Event #8 (Day 2): Nancy Birnbaum Eliminated In 8th Place ($6,934) By Matt Smith

2018 Isle Poker Classic (Event #7)
$1,100 No Limit Hold'em Main Event
$200,000 GTD
Level 22 (Blinds 10,000/20,000/20,000)
Total Event #7 Entries: 244
Players Remaining: 7


Nancy Birnbaum (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) lost a good chunk of her stack before break (doubling up Tom Gity), and couldn't spin her short stack up after play resumed.

Nancy Birnbaum (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) had a serious hill to climb when play resumed from the most recent break, returning to a stack of five big blinds.  After having to fold her big blind to a shove from Hunter Cichy, she'd three-bet shove for 90,000 the next hand, over a raise from Matt Smith.  Matt made the call, and the cards found their backs.  Nancy's 4♠ 4♣ would be flipping with Smith's A K, and while she survived the flop and turn, Smith found an ace on the river to send her to the payout podium.
