7th, Robert Quigley III - $5,240It doesn't take long for the first elimination at the 6-max final table. Robert Quigley III (Pittsburgh, PA) pushes his last 42k with (K 8) and is up against Josh Brikis (3 3).
It's an interesting flop [K 8 3], Quigley flops two pairs, but trails Brikis' set. The turn and river are no help and Quigley's out in 7th place, and says his 6-handed on-line experience was a big help, "a lot of the players here didn't understand the concept of playing short handed, playing on-line was a huge benefit."
The biggest difference between a short table and a full ring for Quigley is being aggressive. "I was able to pick up a lot of blinds and antes by being aggressive pre-flop," he says, "I didn't have to play a lot of small ball.
Dannny Mui, the other short stack at the table, gets a rare quadruple-up when his pocket aces hold and he goes from 48k to 260k.
Level 19 (8k/16k/2k) continues with Brikis leading the way with nearly 1 million chips.
