| 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.
