Correction: Oops, I didn’t Suck Out on Olga

LAS VEGAS–Last week I reported getting a lot of chips in the $1,500 NLH event by cracking Olga Varkonyi’s aces (and a flopped set of jacks) with my pocket 10s. Not the case. I probably misidentified her because I thought it would sound cooler. And I thought that TBR had knocked her out of last year’s main event, which I thus figured we could use to turn the Batfaces into her true nemeses. But upon checking facts with TBR, it turned out he didn’t knock her out either — he was just sitting at her table when that happened. Huh. Interesting.

So with Olga out of the equation, the lovely long-dark-hair lady whose dreams I presumably crushed on the turn was actually Michele Lewis, a pro from Houston. Michele was actually the first woman to make a final table in the 2006 WSOP. And she has cashed three times thus far. That’s better than I have done.


Here’s Olga. The main picture in this post is of Michele. (Did I mention she’s pretty and talented?)

Pokerati regrets the error. The misidentification one, not the bad play with my TT vs. her AA.

Thanks Sarah Bilney for setting the record straight!
