Event 1 ($175 No Limit Hold'em $125,000 GTD)
Level 14 (Blinds 1,200/2,400/400)
Total Flight 1G Entries: 209
Sandra Meyer (Weston, FL) had been grinding an above average stack for most of the day, but found herself short as Level 14 begun. After action folded around to Meyer on the button, she would open to 6,000. The player in the small blind folded, with Meyer only needing to get through Francis Margaglione in order to pick up the blinds and antes. Francis showed some serious resistance though, as he pushed forward a stack of yellow (5,000 denomination) worth over 80,000. That would be enough to cover Sandra, so she took a few moments to think, before eventually making the call. Meyer would be in bad shape holding 7♥ 7♦ against Margaglione's Q♠ Q♥, and she began to the early stages of the "Rob Brown Pro Walkway."
If you don't know what that is, you should maybe ask a friend, or google it to find out. We will save you the suspense though...it's when you're all-in and behind (or at risk), and you begin to collect your things, before taking that first step away from the table (and then you win the hand). Sandra was standing with her bag over her shoulder, and watched as the dealer laid out the 8♠ 9♣ 2♦ flop...followed by the 10♠ (Sandra took a step towards the door)...followed by the 6♥ (giving her the winning straight). Francis would have to match Meyer's 65,800 stack, with Sandra collecting the pot worth over 130,000 as she sat back down.
