Ladies NLHE Final Table Recap

All I have to say is wow. Wow this final table was just so slow. The play was as tight as all hell. We rarely saw flops and then if we did take a flop, a bet would take down the pot. The women just played so amazingly tight trying to money-up that it was unreal. Svetlana Gromenkova, the woman that eventually would go on to win, was my heavy favorite. She was just worlds above the other players in skill and also had a big stack. She controlled the table from the get go and just worked really well the chip away at people.

Sue Porter was the first to go out and she just played awful. She would call raises for half her stack and then dump the hand on the flop. She was playing way too many hands and was eliminated shortly after the start of the final table. She was the only person keeping the table lively and when she went out, things just locked up completely. People were folding big broadway cards and small to middle pairs like they were 2-4 off. It was quite ridiculous the amount of passiveness at the table. I really believe that this gave Gromenkova a huge advantage. She is a pro and knew just how to run over the field.

When we got to heads up, Gromenkova got all in with her opponent Anh Le and had Le drawing to three outs. Le seemed to be getting her money in all day with the worst of it and coming out on top. This time was no different as Le pulled her three-outer to capture the pot and the chip lead. Gromenkova looked like she was going to just break down and cry. She was so close to the win and then to have it snatched from her when it was within reach seemed like it'd be too much for her. With the help and encouragement from her railbirds, she buckled down and began to chip away again at Le. She soon regained the chip lead with solid, solid poker. And then, another misstep from Le and that was all she wrote. Le took her A6 up against Gromenkova's pocket kings. The kings prevailed and Gromenkova was crowned champion.
