Borgata Ladies Event

Got back from the Borgata, late last night. Actually it was early Monday morning. I am so tired today, got to bed at 2 am, and woke up at 7am for work! Good news is that my wife cashed in the ladies WPT event. They had a good turnout of 385 ladies for $300 each. She took 20th for $500, very frustrating, played 10 hours to win $200. She was chipping up nicely all day. She was 10th in chips when the following bad beat occurred. Keep in mind her table image was super tight all day. A late position donket pushed all her chips in the middle from the button. My wife has A-K off suit in the big blind. After asking for a chip count she went into the tank for 5 minutes. Blinds were high like 3K-6K with a 1K ante. My wife had 80,000 and donket had 50,000. If she wins this hand would be close to the chip lead, first prize was over 30K! She finally decided to call and we all stood up to see the hands. The donket had A-Q off? My wife had made a great read/call would she be rewarded. Of course not, this is No Limit HE tournament poker. The river brought the Queen, for the 3 out suck out. She was totally devastated. Her opponent started to giggle loudly, hee-hee hee-hee hee-hee. I wanted to pick up a table and drop it on her head. I could never play in these ladies events, they are worse then men! Play like a donkey and get rewarded. She had her eye on the final table prizes, they were so sweet. After playing great for 10 hours she was knocked out within 10 minutes of this hand. Of well we will be at it again next week. Good luck at the tables. Tony
