Event 8: 6th - Gassen; 5th - Keller

$350 Buy-In + $50
PLO High


Play continued into Level 14, blinds 1,500/3,000.

Anna Wroblewski continues to steam-roll the table. Her table banter has picked up also. "You know what I heard about you?" she said to Brent Keller. "I heard you were a good player". Brent replied in a self-deprecating fashion.

Anna continued, "I like the attitude. It's good for second place."

Well, not quite.

Barry Gassen called 3k, leaving himself just 4,500 behind. Anna raised to 11k straight. Brent (bb) tanked.

"You know the last time you did this, you folded on the flop." Brent decided to call anyway. Barry put the last of his chips in and the flop came K65. Brent immediately put the last of his chips in. Anna asked for the count, which was 21k. Now it was her turn in the tank.

"I could get runner-runner" Anna said as she studied her cards and the board. "I could be ahead". She finally opted to call.

Brent: TT86 (pair of Tens, spade draw)
Barry: AQJ9 (nothing but a prayer)
Anna: AJJ2 (pair of Jacks)

She was ahead, and as she said, she could get runner-runner. The last two came 35 and Anna went runner-runner heart flush to scoop the pot, sending two players to the rail.

Barry Gassen finished 6th for $1,222.
Brent Keller finished 5th for $1,426.

Brent Keller - 5th place
Barry Gassen - 6th place

The final four opted to take a short break, so I got some quick chip counts:

Will McMahon 82k
Al Ballerini 37k
Keith Janal 24k

and Anna has all the rest: 337k.
