Annie Duke will be hosting a charity event at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino May 27th at 6pm.  This event will have 20 Joan Rivers impersonators who will have a bounty on each of them. This creative tournament is being called; “Sucking out on the Rivers.”  Sounds interesting, but it’s not like Joan Rivers doesn’t deserve this attention after her comments on Celebrity Apprentice on NBC, calling poker players “white trash”!  Yes, some are….but oh so many of us are not! lol

After doubling her chip stack earlier in the day to Ludovic Lacay, Annette Obrestad’s luck ran out.  She had a great hand to end the tournament with, holding A’s, except for the fact that her opponent(De Korver) held quad 9’s.  All in all Annette ended up winning $77,000 euro and taking 13th place.

Sandra Naujoks, who won the EPT Dortmund was taken out on Day 3 of the EPT Monte Carlo Grand Final.  She went all in against Matthew Woodward and lost.  As a result Matt was looking strong with a cool 2.3mil in chips.  Many players were happy to see her go because of her talented poker skills but sad to see her go because of her other talent of being eye candy on the tables!
