Bobby Zetusky took the $640 jackpot and entered a $500 Saturday U.S. Poker Open tournament at the Trump Taj Mahal on September 20, 2008.  There were 299 entrants, with the top 27 getting paid out, but Bob fell just a bit short, getting knocked out in 29th place.  Bob gives the play-by-play himself:

<blockquote>''I battled a short stack the 2nd half of the tourney, which I played for 11 hours. I would have received around $1450 if I made the money.  The final hand: Blinds were $1000/$2000 with a $300 Ante, eight players at my table.  My stack was $5400 (I could not get a hand -- I got 9-4 offsuit so many times, I think if I ever get that hand again I'll go nuts).

I was in the Big Blind for $2000 + $300 ante -- I put my remaining $3100 on my cards indicating I have to call with any 2 cards.  Last time I did this, I got a walk.

Folds around to the button, who was also short -- somewhere around 14000. I played with this guy most of the night. Solid player but does make moves. He pushes all in. Small blind thinks for a couple of minutes and folds.

There's $2400 in antes, $3000 in blinds, plus $5100 from the button, totaling $10500 in the pot. So I have to pay $3100 to win $13600. I have to play any 2 cards here, so I figure if I look at my cards I might end up folding (that would be horrible) so I just throw in my remaining chips without looking at my cards.

Button shows 3-3. I flip over A-2 spades. Some hope.

Flop brings a 3, and he turns another 3. Dreaded quads!!

I am very disappointed in my finish. I think my play was average at best, and I missed some opportunities to make moves. It was a good and fun experience, and I had some dead-on reads (too bad I wasn't in most of the hands).''</blockquote>

Bobby, you may have been disappointed, but the Club is noticing that we're finishing higher and higher in the Beeg Weenah tournament, every time.  Next time is assuredly a lock on the money cut.
