Can J.J. Liu Make History Tonight?

Could be first woman to win a WPT main event.

Down to the final three at Bay 101 and J.J. is neck and neck with Ted Forest.

i just hope she isn't wear that skin suit like last time. I had very mixed feelings about that. I dont ever want to feel that confused again.

It's down to heads up against Ted Forest. Still a tall order. But she does start heads up play with the chip lead.

It's been interesting following all the hands instead of just seeing the televised hands. I'm a big Ted Forrest fan so I've been glued to this since I got home from work.

Already JJ has achieved:

Highest WPT (open-invite) finish by a female (2nd).
Largest WPT cash by a female ($600,000).
4th largest tournament cash by a female ($600,000).

roh noes!

254. Liu raises to $480,000 and Forrest makes the call. The flop comes AcKs7d and both players check. The turn is the 10c and Forrest bets $300,000. Lui calls and the river is the 2c. Forrest moves all in for $3,260,000 and Liu makes the call. Forrest turns over the nut flush with the Kc5c. Liu shows Q-J for a straight and mucks her cards.

Ted Forrest doubles up and takes a commanding chip lead with $8,200,000 chips to Liu's $800,000.

For the record:

1. I did not sit with the J.J. Liu cheering section, preferring instead to sit in the last row in order to keep a low profile.

2. J.J. Liu was unable to take part in the closing sequence of the TV show (i.e. Mike ton congratulating Ted Forrest) after the tournament ended.

I am writing this at 4am local time on Saturday from the waiting room of a medical facility.

I do not anticipate being able to go home for a while, as I have to do my job.

Please refrain from posting insensitive remarks at this time.

J.J.'s husband/manager Dan Alspach has instructed me not to comment further. Thank you for your understanding.
