Steven Dannenmann

There was a blast from the past in the Borgata as Steve Dannenmann was spotted in the field on Day 1b.

Dannenmann is of course known by the poker world for his memorable run to the WSOP Main Event final table in 2005 and making it all the way to heads-up where he would ultimately finish runner-up to Joe Hachem.

Since his $4.2 million burst onto the scene score back in 2005, Dannemann has had some scattered results, many of them coming right here in Atlantic City.

The Maryland native will have to wait for his next cash though as he was seen leaving the room after being busted in the previous level.

Stroke Misreads Hand

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the river as the board read {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}. John Barker bet 5,000 on the river from the small blind into a pot of about 15,000. Shawn Stroke thought for a decent amount of time before calling.

Barker said "you win" and tabled the {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for ace-high. Stroke turned over his hand which was the {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for queen high which he quickly realized was not what he thought as he claimed he thought he had queen-six and Barker took in an unexpected pot.

Parenti Out-Duels Big Slick

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Nathaniel Parenti moved all in on a flop of {6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for his remaining 15,000. His opponent called after a moment.

Parenti had a draw with the {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} while his opponent had the {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. The turn was the {7-Clubs} and the river was the {5-Clubs} to find Parenti on the river and keep him alive.
