Darren Attebery (Winner of Event #18)
Darren Attebery wins Event #18, $23,763 and the “Tiny Borgata” scale model trophy. Prior to this, he had nearly $35,000 in tournament winnings, and this puts him closer to the $59,000 range. His previous best finish was fifth in a Heartland Poker Tour event back in 2010.
Darren tells us that he’s a “hustler” whose girlfriend lives with him. He has two children and plays poker in Kansas City. He says they have great poker out there. Darren said it was a tough, but pretty easy final table and he was glad to win. Congratulations to Darren!
In just a few short hours, Day 3 of the main event will begin, as well a $350 + $50, $100,000 Guaranteed Re-Entry event alongside it. Catch you on the flip side!

Gregg Roman (Out in 2nd)

“Grim Reaper” was the next player to be eliminated. We don’t see any previous cashes by the name he goes by, but perhaps there are some under his anonymous real name. At any rate, he earns $6,535 for a day’s work. Not a bad hourly rate!

“Double A” goes all in and David Coleman re-raises all in to isolate, and it works, so he pulls the extra back.
“Double A” {9c}{7h}
David: {Qc}{Qd}
The board is slightly worrying for David, but holds: {7s}{4h}{Ks}{6s}{As} and “Double A” is out in 8th place.

Chris Francia is all in for his last 170,000 and “Double A” calls.
Chris turns over {8d}{5d} and “Double A” has {Qh}[4d}.

Then, a few hands later, Chris is all in again and “Double A” calls again.
Chris: {Ad}{9c}
“Double A”: {Jd}{Jc}
Board: {5d}{Ac}{4h}{7s}{4c}
Chris has doubled twice at the expense of the player next to him, and he’s up to 810,000.
