Anh Le is unfortunately the bridesmaid once again, making her second career runner-up finish in the WSOP Ladies Event tonight, having finished second to Jennifer Tilly in 2005. She was clearly emotional in her post-game interview, but her face lit up when her daughter Isabella was mentioned. Le gave her five-year-old a smile and a wave through the camera and departed the stage gracefully.
Gromenkova is a woman of few words. Before play started ESPN 360’s Howard David had asked her what she wanted the world to know about her. Gromenkova’s reply? “Nothing.”
David poised the question to her again in her winner’s interview and Gromenkova said with a smile, “I just want people to know I’m a good player and I guess they know it now!”
Congratulations to Svetlana Gromenkova on her first WSOP bracelet!
