Event 20: Champion - Gordon Eng
$1500 + $150 NL
The blinds went up to 15k/30k with 4k antes. Play continued.
It was apparent that these two final players were getting tired. They were having trouble counting out their chips and had resorted to announcing the amounts of bets and raises to make sure they got it right. After playing 15 hours yesterday and eleven hours today, their weariness was understandable.
The last hand came with a board of A 9 6 J J. They got all the chips in the middle on the river and Gordon Eng showed AQ. Alan Sternberg mucked his hand, accepting defeat and second place (and $40,071).
Gordon Eng emerged victorious, earning $70,599 for first place.
Gordon Eng - 1st place
Alan Sternberg - 2nd place

Event 20: 3rd - Jamshidi

$1500 + $150 NL

A lot of time passed as they were pushing chips around the table, then it happened quickly:

Robert held AQ of hearts and was dominated. The flop came K 9 2 with two hearts, giving Alan a pair of Kings, but giving Robert the flush draw.

Robert Saltiel - 4th place
With that pot, Alan chipped up to ~2.26 million. Gordon has about 606k and Sirous has about 380k.

Dwyte Pilgrim Responds to Challenge from Malott
Andrew Malott just won his first WSOP Circuit event at Caesar's in Las Vegas. In a press release he issued a challenge to Dwyte Pilgrim:
"Andrew Malott Wins WSOP Circuit Tournament
...
Boosted by the confidence of his first-ever WSOP Circuit win, he issued a challenge to three-time WSOP Circuit gold ring winner Dwyte Pilgrim.
“This is to my boy, Dwyte Pilgrim,” barked Malott for the entire poker world to hear. “I’m going to catch up to your rings, kid. The rings are going to be all over my fingers. You know how it’s going to go….I’m coming for you Dwyte Pilgrim, let’s go!”
Pilgrim, who did not show up at this year’s Caesars series was not available for comment."
----
Dwyte Pilgrim, who owns three WSOP Circuit gold rings, did not go to Vegas for that event because he is here at Borgata enjoying the tournaments of the Spring Poker Open. I showed him the press release and he had this response:
"Anybody can win one ring, Malott. Come see me when you've got two."
