Event 8: 9th Place - Dever

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

 
Cathy Dever (Ephrata, PA)
$4,284
Blinds 40/80k/5k ante:

On the last hand before dinner break, Dever moves all in for 580k
Tammy Wagner is all in for 310k
Trevor Graffa calls 580 from the SB
Tom Evers tanks and folds from the BB

Dever: K♣ Q♠
Wagner: Q Q♣
Graffa: A K♠

The board doesn't offer Dever any help and she's out in 9th place.  "I thought my king might be good until I saw she had pocket queens," says the real estate agent from Amish country in Lancaster County, PA.  

Wagner doubles to stay alive, while Graffa is still healthy in chips despite losing nearly 600k on the hand.

"There were just so many crazy hands," says Dever. One hand that fell her way came with Dever holding K 10 vs Evers' A Q, but stayed alive when the flop came A Q J for the winning straight. Unfortunately the Borgata regular was unable to build off the double-up.

This is Dever's first final table and is quick to brag that her husband John Dever won a WSOP circuit ring in 2010.

Cathy Dever earns $4,284 for her 9th place finish.
