For those not seated in the Main Event, there was a drawing held to award a heads up seat against a poker pro. Josh Krause won the first drawing and is now seated across from Danielle "dmoongirl" Andersen. The winner takes home $100 and the title of "Best Heads Up Player from Minnesota". When asked, Danielle commented about her heads up play, "Well, i'm holding a glass of wine so I think Josh has a good shot here." Josh's nickname currently is "Big Cheese" and he says he is ready to change that.

With blinds at 3,000/6,000 and 15 players until the money, players have started to tighten up. Action folded around to Marilyn Ragan in the small blind who min raised at 12,000. The player in the big blind looked at his cards for the first time and immediately shoved all in for 22,000. Ragan made the call and the cards were turned over.
Marilyn Ragan: 
Big Blind: 
"Ace or King!" shouted the big blind player but the flop came 
.
"Hold!" shouted Ragan and her wishes were granted as the 
came on the turn.
Only one player noticed the 
on the river and said "Are you kidding? Marilyn you got quads!"
We are now down to 41 players inching closer and closer to the money.
