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