Players |
The record
entry for this event was 1998 (183 players with only 113 rebuys). Some stir was
caused as the brothers drew positions on the same table at the semi-final
stage. But although they were the first brothers to make a final, Howard
Lederer and Annie Duke, brother and sister, have achieved the same
previously.
Four previous winners (from seven Bracelet winners) of this
event in this final plus the first of brothers making a final who are both
pot-limit experts made this a tough event. Chip levels and antes made it likely
for early action rather than later.
Bill Gazes had the audacity to play
in the next event (running between tables) whilst still trying to hang in on in
this final. Both of those went South quickly he was first out without being at
the table much.
As soon as he was gone Barney took off with Aces suited
only to see a flop of three spades and an Ace. A player with two spades bet and
Barney called but could not pair the board and was out 9th. Ross followed 30
miniutes later with Kings against Jacks, a Jack hit the turn because Ross
didn't have enough to bet the man out. Previous

Also today David
Colclough wins a qualifier for the Championship and Benny Binion Behnen
