Sharman Olshan (Buffalo, NY)

Just as we were saying that all eyes were on Sharman Olshan, they literally were as she moved all-in for her final 120,000 from the big blind after Jay Feingold opened the action in late position.

Feingold would make the call for just a few more chips and Olshan would be flipping for her tournament life as she turned over [9d][9h] against Feingold's [Qc][10s].

Feingold would flop a pair and a redraw to a straight on the [Ad][Kh][Qc] board and the turn and river would have to bring a nine to save Sharman as they wouldn't with Feingold improving to trips by the time it was all said and done.

Despite being hampered by a short stack for the majority of the last few levels, even going back to yesterday, she managed to make some big hands at some big moments and made numerous money jumps to earn the biggest tournament score of her career as she'll make just under $15,000 for her Card Player Poker Tour Main Event run.

While Sharman only played in two CPPT events this series, she managed to Final Table both of them, a testament to just how good of a player she is, as there are few, if any other players that can also make that claim.

We are now six handed with just twenty minutes until our next break.
