Jennifer Tilly Stays Alive With PSIT 3 WinChris Ferguson's Fourth-Place Finish Sets Up an Interesting Final Match |
|
Jennifer Tilly kept her hopes to make the second round of the Poker Superstars Invitational Tournament 3 (PSIT 3) alive in her fourth elimination round match, besting some of the greatest players in the world on her way to first place and the 10 points that comes with it. She would probably make it to the second round of 16 players if she placed third or better in her last match. A win would definitely put her in. She now has 17 points.
Antonio Esfandiari came into the match with 22 points and added another seven for finishing second. His 29 points puts him at the top of the leader board by two points over Barry Greenstein and Erick Lindgren, who both have 27 with one match to go.
Greg Raymer added five points to the five he brought to his fourth PSIT 3 elimination match and it looks like the only thing he'll be playing for in his last match is the $10,000 that goes to the table's winner.
Chris Ferguson earned three points for a fourth place finish, bringing his total to 16 with one match to go. Ferguson still has a great chance to make it into the second round. He already won one table (in his third match) and there's no doubt he can do it again. If he does that, he's through to the second round.
Jennifer Harman finished fifth and added one point to the 11 she brought to the match. A win will put her close to the bubble, but depending on how the other players do in their fifth round matches, 21 points may not be good enough to advance.
And Ted Forrest remains at the bottom of the leader board with three points. In all but his first match, he was the first player knocked out in his matches (He managed to squeak out a fourth-place finish in his first match).
Forrest, this year's Heads-Up Poker Champion, will not go any farther in this competition after his last match is played.
PSIT 3 is shown on FSN every Sunday at 8 p.m. local time. Click here to visit CardPlayer.com's complete Internet coverage of the event.
