‘The Unknown Lady’ makes name at the Bellagio

A hitherto unheard of poker player called Anna Wroblewski has won the most recent preliminary tournament at the WPT World Championships, eliminating some of the world’s best-known poker players along the way.


Wroblewski’s biggest-name victims were Peter Feldman and Full Tilt’s Erick E-Dog Lindgren. E-Dog was busted in eighth place, capitulating when Wroblewski moved all-in with A-K on the Kc-9d-2c flop, Lindgren called with Jc-7c and missed his flush draw. Feldman followed Lindgren to the rail in fourth place, unluckily flopping two pair with Q-T on a K-Q-T board when Wroblewski held K-Q.

 

It was not all such plain sailing for Wroblewski however, and the lady without a single live-tournament win to her name started her heads-up battle with Jonathan Dull as a 3-1 underdog in the chip count.

 

Wroblewski levelled the playing field 15 minutes into heads-up play, once again flopping a better two pair than her opponent, and inducing him to push on an innocuous looking turn card. 

 

It was a well fought battle from there on in and took over an hour to reach a conclusion. In the end Wroblewski wrapped it up after she flopped a monster draw with 9h-8h on a board showing Th-7s-4h. Jonathan Dull had Ts-3c and the chips quickly found their way into the middle. The 5h on the turn sealed matters and Wroblewski walked away with the top prize of $337,395; Jonathan Dull took $192,640 for second place.
