Not only was this Jenelle Exner's first ring, but it was her first win on the live felt in just her 4th recorded cash. And she took it down in style, winning the ring with the pocket rockets in a hand where runner-up Debi Loomer flopped top pair. It was an easy call-off when Loomer shoved the nine-high board and Exner turned the aces into a set before Loomer rivered the useless two pair.
Exner's previous best result was almost $2,500 USD for 59th place in the Ladies event at the 2019 WSOP in Vegas, so today's $12k score will top her list by a large margin and more than double her lifetime earnings.
The game didn't last long after the break. They were very close to even with Jenelle Exner outstacking Debi Loomer by just 100,000 or so. In the third hand after the break, they both limped to a flop of 
. Loomer shoved the flop and Exner snap-called to reveal the bad news to Loomer.
Debi Loomer: 
Jenelle Exner: 
Exner had the rockets and was well ahead of Loomer's flopped top pair. Loomer actually rivered two pair, but it was already too late as Exner turned an ace for the set. The $7,446 tonight should be her third biggest score on Hendon Mob, and will push her close to $50k in earnings.
Debi Loomer was short going into heads up but she just got a double when her king-jack got there against ace-seven for Jenelle Exner. Loomer flopped two pair and held.
They are now on a break with Loomer on about 1.3 million to about 1,4 million for Exner making it a pretty square match now.
They are heads up now after Debbie Mutford lost a big pot against Jenelle Exner, and then got the rest of her chips in the next hand blind on blind against Debi Loomer. Mutford had 
but didn't have enough to pay her next big blind. Loomer called it off from the big with 
and flopped Mutford dead with the flush.
Kim Kilroy was the 4th-place finisher tonight for $3,648

Late Entry: 8 Levels (~8:30 PM)
The side game on Saturday is a special one just for the women in the mix this week. The Ladies event kicks off at 4 pm today with 20k start stacks and 30-minute blinds until a winner is decided.
They'll have 8 levels of play to enter the game, putting the last chance to register at about 8:30 PM tonight. After that, it will be a race down to the ring later tonight.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to follow this one through to the end or not. Day 2 of the Main Event starts at noon on Saturday, and I feel like I need to be on the floor for the start of Day 2, so I think I'll be setting a hard stop point tonight at around 2 AM. That may mean I am not around for the final hands in this one, but regardless, I'll get the results updated tomorrow at the very least.
