Event 6: 3rd Place - Ehrengerg

$200 + $30 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Blinds 150k/300k/40k ante
Ileana Ehrengerg (Brooklyn, NY)
$16,179

Sal Popolo raises to 800k from the button, Ileana Ehrengerg makes it to 2.2 million from the big blind and Popolo calls.

On a flop of J 6 4, Ehrengerg moves all in and Popolo snap calls.

Ehrengerg: A7 (Ace high)
Popolo: J6 (two pairs)

The turn and river are no help for Ehrengerg who finishes in third place.

"This is only my fourth tournament," says Ehrengerg who earns $16,179. "I was bored and decided to play at the last minute."  Ehrengerg's boyfriend Adam Goldberg, who failed to cash, bought her into the event which he was already playing.  

"I feel okay. I would've liked to win $44,000 (for first place), but I'll take it," she says. "I learned a lot."

Heads Up Chip Counts

Sal Popolo 14.5 million
Reece Lightner 7.5 million
