WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star Final Table: Can Jennifer Harman, A Woman, Finish What J.J. Liu, Also a Woman, Started?
Last year a four month pregnant J.J. Liu almost made history by becoming the first women to not nag a man into submission display some everyday common sense drive well not run screaming to the middle of the dance floor when Come On Eileen is played win a major poker tournament.
Liu eventually failed because the female brain is half the size of the male Ted Forrest prevailed in a grueling final table battle. And then a few months later, Annette Obrestad, a woman, won the WSOP Europe Main Event.
But since that didn't happen in U.S. America, it only partly counts.
Which means that top pro and one of the most respected players in the game, Jennifer Harman, a woman, can finish what J.J. Liu so bravely started last year by capturing the WPT Bay 101 Shoot Star final table.
Harman, who also happens to be a so-called "shooting star," will have her work cut out for her though, as she's short-stacked at 541,000. Leading the way is Day 1a chip leader Brandon Cantu with 3,323,000.
In second overall is some guy named Mike Baker with 1,964,000. The rest of the final table chip counts break down as follows: Noah Jefferson (842,000), Steve Sung (474,000), and John "The Razor" Phan* (374,000).
Some big name bust-outs include the spectacularly-breasted J.C. Tran (7th), Lee Watkinson (9th), this guy who looks like an escaped convict (10th), Rich Belksy (13th), Clonie Gowen, a woman (14th), and this guy who looks like Perez Hilton and possibly really is (15th).
