Both players competed in the 75 person tournament with the top 10 winning a seat into the following days Bellagio annual Five Diamon Classic Tournament. Matt was unsure if he was going to be able to make the trip, but was glad he decided to go and Jennifer was one of only two double stacks to start in the field which paid off in the end. Respectively Matt ended up getting sixth place and Jennifer got tenth place each winning the $1,000 + $80 tournament buy-in the following day. Unfortunately the next day didn't go as well, but both came away with a great experience.

Former MN Champ Makes Most Out of WSOP Trip Former league champ Jerry Anderson from St. Cloud, MN is making the most out of his WSOP trip. Jerry competed in the recent Sin City Showdown National Championship, but unfortunately fell a bit short. That did not dampen his spirits though as there is still a lot of poker to be played. He bought into a $175 tournament and cashed for $1500. Jerry then parlayed that $1500 to play in WSOP event number 56. He made it through day one ranked 25th in chips with 72,300. Jerry then made a deep run into day two, ending up in 87th place for a pay day of $6,130. There were a total of 3,389 entrants. Way to go Jerry!!! |
