Wroblewski Wrobbles Out

[user80015]

We noticed Anna Wroblewski quickly leave her chair to scurry out of the tournament area, and as she passed our PokerNews reporter she stopped for a chat.

What we learned? Wroblewski pushed her few remaining thousand into the pot with a pair of sixes and was called by {A-?}

.

She didn't give the board details, but we can only assume its one of several hands - a counterfeited ace-high, pair, two-pair, trips, straight, flush, full house, quads, straight flush or a royal . . . I guess we'll never know.

The Ladies Are Done for the Night!

[user80015]

We saw 1,060 lovely ladies take to the felt today, and when the chips were bagged there were only 146 remaining.

Evelyn Ng, Kirsty Gazes, Tiffany Michelle, Maya Gellar and Katja Thater were just some of the names to start the day - but they would all find a place on the rail by day's end.

Tamara Tibbles took the chip lead after dinner break, and never let go -- peaking at 130,000 before finishing the day with 129,700. Even with a clear chip lead over her next rival, Tibbles will have to keep a look out for the previous Champion Svetlana Gromenkova (62,800), Patti Zarosky (51,000), Lisa Parsons (46,300) and Lauren Kling (44,200).

Maria Ho (24,800) and JJ Liu (38,300) still have their chance at capturing their first bracelet and first WSOP cash of the series, as both will be aiming for the $195,390 first prize, gold bracelet and title of Ladies World Champion!

Make sure to check out PokerNews tomorrow at 2pm local time to catch all the live coverage of Day 2 action including rivered flushes, turned straights and flopped sets!
