Stephanie Hubbard (Hazlet, NJ)

After close to an entire level of "feeling out" we finally lost the first player from our Final Table, as Stephanie Hubbard was just sent to the rail in 10th place.

The action would be picked up pre-flop with the table folding to Hubbard on the button and she would announce herself "all-in" for just under 250,000.

Ed O'Connell would fold in the small blind and the action was then on Brad St. Vincent in the big blind.

Hubbards shove was an interesting one, as it was a sizable amount of chips, but in relative terms, it was for just over 10 big blinds, leaving St. Vincent in an interesting spot as he'd have to commit close to a quarter of his stack to make the call.

He eventually would with [10c][8c] and Hubbard held the current advantage with [As][9h].

That advantage would be gone on the flop of [Kd][3s][10h] and she'd be left with just three outs to save her tournament, with two cards to come.

Neither would help her, as the turn bricked out and the river teasingly paired her nine just to add insult to injury.

Hubbard would roll her eyes at the "gamble" that St. Vincent took and while she might not have been a fan of the call or her finish, she'll take home close to $2,700 for her efforts and the fact that she made the Final Table of one of the more difficult fields we will see throughout this Card Player Poker Tour series.

St. Vincent is now playing close to 900,000 with one level left to play before the dinner break.
