Earl sharked the living shit out of her and ended up beating her 9-4.
I sat right behind him and heard everything he said, even comments muttered under his breath. Aside from his usual BS about the room, the table, 10' tables, heated tables, his bad luck, etc., he repeatedly made cracks specifically regarding her gender, such as:
"Women should not be allowed in this tournament."
and...
"Do you realize how humiliating it is to force somebody of my abilities to play a woman?"
I never said a word back to him, but I'm sitting there thinking, "Nobody is forcing you to play here. Nobody is holding a gun to your head saying you have to continue. Unscrew and walk away if it's so humiliating."
Karen has crushed many male players who have beaten Earl. Last year at TS she made it to the 9th round on the loser's side. Along the way she beat a very in stroke Dennis Hatch in a tough hill-hill match, demolished Ron Cosanzio (a great regional pro who had decisively beat Dechaine in the first round), cruised past a hot Danny Mastermaker, and then ran into Earl. In that match Earl was even worse to her than he was this year, keeping up a constant barrage of sexist banter that embarrassed me just to hear it (although the crowd seemed to love it

) She was visibly shaken, but kept her composure enough to:
1. Keep a smile on her face the whole time.
2. Keep in the game to get to a 9-6 finish.
Ain't a bad showing in light of all his sharking, and considering the way Earl was playing at that tourney he was simply not to be denied.
Karen Corr is just about one of the classiest players in the game IMO, men or women. She can hold her own against any player in the world, and will walk away with the win if they don't bring their A game with them.
BTW I think the previous high run by a woman in a 14.1 tournament was a 90 by Jasmin Ouschan a few years ago. If so, Karen has the current record, and in a game she hardly ever plays.
EDIT:
Sorry, I thought Karen ran 93, not 83. That means Jasmin is still the current women's record holder AFAIK, but Karen's 83 in tournament play ain't too shabby, either.
