One Ace Too Many

After seeing a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades} Tony G hadn't acted before the dealer turned the {Q-Hearts}. The floor was called and it was decided the {Q-Hearts} would be reshuffled into the deck and a new turn card dealt. That card turned out to be the {A-Spades}, and Tony made a 1,300 bet, which his opponent called. The river was...the {Q-Spades}, putting three spades on the board. The other player bet, Tony G called and turned over the {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, while his opponent outkicked him with {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. How the hand would've played out had that Ace not replaced the {Q-Hearts} on the turn will remain one of life's mysteries.

2007 Belongs to Anna Wroblewski

For those of you who are dedicated high stakes tournament enthusiasts, you may recognize the name Anna Wroblewski.

Anna burst onto the scene just two months ago, when she parlayed earnings from a $10/hr. job, into $337,395 by winning Event 9 at the Fifth Annual Five Star World Poker Classic, a $3,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em tournament at the Bellagio.

Five days later, she followed up her win with a 70th place finish in the $25,000 buy-in WPT Championship, good for $46,410.

Playing in her first WSOP, Anna is quickly proving that she's not to be taken lightly. She currently has 46,000 chips and is one of our leaders.

Keep an eye out for this young phenom; she's here to stay.

Reminiscing

Just before the break, we overheard a fascinating conversation take place at table 6 -- the same table we reported on earlier, occupied by Howard Lederer, Michael Binger, Burt Boutin, Ben Roberts, and Tony Ma.

Stu Ungar was the topic and you could tell by the look on his face that Michael Binger was completely in awe of the stories being told by his elder tablemates.

Stuey is commonly referred to as the greatest poker player ever to play the game, and his legacy is passed on each year at the WSOP, through the stories told by the likes of Lederer, Roberts and Boutin, who all had the pleasure of playing with him.
