Week 11: The Dragon slays his way to the Top!
Week 11 found some new faces on top but Steve Trizis and Joe Parrish had a decent finish to gather even more points to solidify them in the top two positions on the leaderboard. With 10 weeks to go there are no guarantees however.
Andrea Ruosi took first this week after battling John “Muscles” Gordon heads up. John is a tough player who has been featured on a televised WPT final table in the past so Andrea who has played extensively as well – much of it online – had a very strong opponent.
Alex was sent to the window when SuperDave’s KK> Alex’s QQ
Steve shoved and Chrissy tank called. Full house for Chrissy and Steve “The Godfather” was out! Maybe the run good is over after weeks of great finishes for Steve!
Meanwhile at the outer table Jason “the nit”’s AA
Andra called Doc Brown’s all in with AK. Doc Brown’s 33 held.
Then Andra doubled her minuscule stack when she flopped a set of Aces > Andrea
Then Andra doubled through
