Saw Almira got 2nd, Dinara 6th. 
I was reading the updates, and my wife asked me what was so funny.
Some goot poker tho. Tourney life IMO.
Some sample hands if you want to learn a few things from live pros:
Level 27: 30,000-60,000, 10,000 ante
George Rechnitzer folds from the button, but it snags the felt and is accidentally exposed -- Q
J. After seeing Kitai apply all-in pressure on previous hands, Rechnitzer apparently wasn't ready to go to war with that hand.
Dan Heimiller moves all in from the small blind, and Davidi Kitai tanks for about three minutes before he folds the big blind. Dan Heimiller takes the pot.
Seat 3. George Rechnitzer - 610,000
Seat 4. Dan Heimiller - 710,000
Seat 5. Davidi Kitai - 2,490,000
Seat 6. Almira Skripchenko - 640,000
Level 27: 30,000-60,000, 10,000 ante
George Rechnitzer is forced all in from the big blind for 20,000. Almira Skripchenko raises from the button to 150,000, and Dan Heimiller calls from the big blind, creating a main pot of 100,000, and a side pot of 260,000.
The flop comes AK6
, Heimiller checks, Skripchenko moves all in, and Heimiller folds 10-10 face up. Skripchenko takes the side pot.
Rechnitzer shows 54
for five high, and he's in big trouble against Skripchenko's A9 (pair of aces), needing runner-runner to stay alive.
The turn is the A, the river is the 9, and Almira Skripchenko wins the pot with a full house, aces full of nines. George Rechnitzer is eliminated in fourth place.
Seat 3. George Rechnitzer - Out in 4th Place ($15,000)
Seat 4. Dan Heimiller - 380,000
Seat 5. Davidi Kitai - 2,620,000
Seat 6. Almira Skripchenko - 1,450,000
