Event 8: 5th Place - Wagner

$400 + $50 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

 Tammy Wagner (North Lawrence, OH) 
$11,994
Blinds 60k/120k/20k ante

Wagner moves all in for 3.25 million
Tom Evers calls for 3 million and is at risk

Wagner: 10 10
Evers: A K

When an ace flops, Wagner's day is all but over as she ships 3 million to Evers and is left with 250k; she busts on the next hand.

"This is great," says Wagner as this is her first live tournament cash.  Her day was filled with ups and downs and included a hand where she was a 99% underdog after the flop, but hit perfect-perfect to stay alive.

"That's poker," she says while offering no excuses for her good fortunate.  "Just like with the 10s I was ahead, but you get used to it.  It doesn't phase me."

Wagner, who's an firefighter and paramedic back in Ohio, takes home $11,994 for hier 5th place finish.

Evers is now the chip leader with more than 6 million chips.
