Two Tables
Jun 30, '07
The players have redrawn again this time for the final two tables. Three notable names have risen to the top of the pack, as three of the chip leaders are Joe Pelton, Anna Wroblewski, and Roland de Wolfe.
Wroblewski gained some of those chips by elminating Pro Blogger Gary Bogdanski when he pushed all in from the small blind with pocket sixes and she held pocket Aces. The suspense would be short lived as she flopped a full house to put a stranglehold on the hand. Bogdanski earned $21,884 for his finish.
The eliminations then began to stack up very quickly, causing one tournament floorperson to mutter a few colorful words under his breath as he was constantly balancing tables.
Klein Bach and Kuong Lu had a quite a rapport built up as they traded chips. Bach ended up with the last laugh. First Bach pushed all in after Lu’s preflop raise of $65,000. A few hands later Bach raised from middle position, and Lu pushed all in for almost $350,000. Bach called and showed As Kc while Lu showed Ks Jd and was trailing. The board came out 7c 7h 4s 7d Ad and Bach eliminated Lu in 19th place ($21,884). Before the tables could be combined, Jaydee Bade pushed all in with 6s 6h and was called by As Js. He was safe on the board of Kd Qc 4h 9d, but couldn’t fade the Ac on the river and he busted in 18th place earning $25,593.
T.J. Cloutier was the severe stack and wasted no time doubling up when the tables combined. With $379,000 now in his stack, he pushed all in again with Ad Kh and was called by Klein Bach with Ah Qs. He was primed to vault among the chip leaders, and then the board rolled out Qc 9d 7s 8d 6c, and Cloutier was headed to the rail in 17th place, earning $25,593.
There are currently 16 players left.
