Georgina James was all-in and and at risk for her last 22,000 up against Ihor Prokopchuk.
Georgina James: A♣Q♥
Ihor Prokopchuk: 10♥10♠
The flop came K♣2♥2♠ and the pair seemed cordial as Prokopchuk called for a ten on the turn. The 5♥ and 6♣ runout would have to do, and James was eliminated.
Meanwhile, fellow PokerStars Ambassador Barny Boatman is nursing a short stack of 10,000 as the level ticks over into 500/1,000/1,000.

Players are going on another 20-minute break. When they return there will be two more levels before a 75-minute dinner break.
In the 867th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz are at Level 9 Studio to discuss the "controversy" of Doug Polk making the final table of his own poker tournament down at The Lodge in Austin, Texas. Should a poker operator be allowed to play in their own event? That seemed to be the question of the week in the poker world.
The crew then played "Race the Ace" to determine a winner in ourgiveaway for a seat into the ClubWPT Gold $5,000,000 Freeroll Invitational (the answer to how many engraved plates are on the WPT Mike Sexton Champion's Cup was 374)! From there, it is a look at Maria Ho winning the Celebrity Poker Tour (CPT) 2024 Championship and Chad got to meet Impractical Jokers Brian "Q" Quinn and Joe Gatto, Sketch, and Vegas Matt.
Speaking of fun events, find out who won the Global Poker Table Talk event during Formula 1 featuring Antonio Esfandiari, Michael Phelps, Carlos Sainz, and Charles Leclerc, and then get a behind-the-scenes look at the Big Deal for One Drop, which both Chad and Connor Richards attended. They caught up with Phil Hellmuth and even interviewed Jennifer Tilly.
Kyna then shares highlights from her trip to England for the PokerStars Women's Winter Festival. Then things wrap with a look at the upcoming Bar Poker Open taking place in Florida from Dec. 6-8 (Norman Chad will be there to do commentary)!
The podcast is sponsored by the #1 free-to-play WSOP app. Remember to use bonus code "POKERNEWS" if you download and play for an extra 1,000,000 in chips!
A new PokerNews Podcast will drop weekly every Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!
