Erica Schoenberg Wins $2,500 Event at Mandalay Bay

Erica Schoenberg won the $2,500 event of the Mandalay Bay Poker Championship. She outlasted 117 players to win $105,875 and 432 Card Player Magazine's Player of the Year points.

Anna Wroblewski, who exploded on the tournament poker scene last month at the Bellagio Five Star World Poker Classic took second. It was only about two months ago that Wroblewski had to get a job because grinding it out in Vegas wasn't working. The tide has definitely changed for her: She now has $481,303 in tournament winnings for the year.

Her second-place finish this weekend was good for $71,540 and 360 POY points.

Jonathan Little, who is fresh off a victory at the WPT Mirage Poker Showdown, finished ninth in this contest for $5,725. He also got a bit closer to taking over J.C. Tran's lead in the Player of the Year race.

The top nine in the $2,500 event were:

• Erica Schoenberg, $105,875
• Anna Wroblewski, $71,540
• Andrew Taylor, $37,200
• Bill Blanda, $20,025
• Sang Pham, $15,740
