The
Final Table of the 7-Card Stud
8-or-Better was Sexier than Most
As
the final table gathered it seems to be
better looking than most. Why you asked,
because there were four women seated at
this final table.
The
$230 Seven-card stud Hi/Lo event drew
59 entrants and created a prize pool of
$11,446.
At
5:50 p.m. the final eight players took
their seats at the final table with 23
minutes remaining at the $400-$800 level
with a $50 and a $100 bring-in.
Glenn
Smith, from Las Vegas sat down at the
final table with $19,250 and the chip
lead, Wayne Haynes made his third final
table today and was in second with $14,925,
Billie Walter was in third with $7,725,
Terry Myers was in fourth with $6,500,
Darlene Wood, who came in 3rd in last
nights ladies event was in fifth with
$3,775, Sue Bryd, from Reno was in sixth
with $2,775, Bill Mullins was in seventh
with $1,925, and Felicia Dyer was in last
place with $1,675.
At
6:00 p.m. Darlene Wood took an early out
in 8th place and collected $345.
At
6:10 p.m. the ante rose to $100 with a
$200 bring in at the $600-$1,200 level.
Bill Mullins was the next casualty and
received $461 for his seventh place finish.
At
6:50 p.m. the level rose to $800-$1,600
with a $200 ante and a $300 bring-in.
There were no casualties at that level.
At 7:40 p.m. the limit increased to $1,000-$2,000
with a $200 ante and a $400 bring-in.
At
7:45 p.m. the remaining six players decided
to pass on the dinner hour and just took
a 15 minuted break and continued playing
at 8:00 p.m.
At 8:15 p.m. Billie Walker, the second
lady to depart the final table, put her
last $1,000 in on the river with 6’s and
5’s only to be beat by 8’s and 3’s. Billie
collected $570 for her 6th place finish.
There
were five players left and two were women,
Sue Byrd and Felicia Dyer were struggling
but doing their best to hang in there.
Sue
Bryd’s luck ran out at 8:30 p.m. With
only $200 remaining she called with A-Q-8
of spades, hit the king of spades on fifth
street only to miss on the river. Sue
took $800 for her 5th place finish.
Five
minutes later Glenn Smith got his pair
of sevens beat by aces on the river and
was sent home in 4th place with $1,085.
Two hands later Felicia Dyer, the last
lady sitting took 3rd place and $1,490.
At
8:45 p.m it was heads-up between Terry
Myers and Wayne Haynes.
Terry was holding on to the lead with
$41,000 to Wayne’s $18,000.
Within
five minutes of heads-up play Terry had
Wayne down to the felt.
Terry made aces up and left Wayne with
only four $100 chips.
On
the very next hand Wayne had his pair
of jacks beat by Terry’s pair of ladies.
This
was Wayne’s 3rd final table this week.
He took 4th place in the Omaha Hi/Lo on
Thursday, he finished 3rd in the No-limit
hold’em event on Monday and he finished
in 2nd place in today’s Seven-card stud
8-or-better. If things keep going in this
direction look for Terry to make a 1st
place finish before the Four Queens Poker
Classic ends.
Terry
Myers, from Yuma, Arizona was declared
the champ in today’s event and added $4,175
to his bankroll. Terry finished in 4th
and 12th in two of the evening events
and took a 13th in one other day event.
