Anna Wroblewski has just asked the dealer whether she is allowed to unregister from the field.

"If you can register late, why can't I unregister?" she quizzed, a little tongue-in-cheek.

"Why do you want to unregister?" queried Jennifer Tilly.

"I just don't want to play today. I'm still pissed off over yesterday!" replied Anna.

A few players then commented how Anna is normally very friendly and happy at the table, and that they would like to cheer her up, to which David Singer replied "Nah, I like it better when she's unhappy. She plays too good when she's happy!"

Anna is certainly looking to double up or bust early. Fortunately for her she just found a double-up after racing with pocket fives against A-K to get back to over 6,000 chips.
