Dailmer AG Rep Cynthia Albert outperforms all
competitors in her class to win event #9
Denies Taryn Crumlish her second WSOPC Ladies Championship of 2009
in a grueling, 90-minute heads up battle
Atlantic City, NJ (December 13, 2009) – The 2009/2010 World Series of Poker Ladies Circuit
Event champion is Cynthia Albert of Germantown, MD. Albert outlasted a field of 169
entrants during the one-day event which lasted nearly 15 hours.
The ladies event at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City attracted a strong field of determined
competitors, vying to win the $11,582 first place prize and the WSOP Circuit Ladies Event
pendant.
Albert was in the middle of the pack when the final table was decided shortly before 11:00
pm Saturday night.
Name Hometown Seat Chip Count
Cynthia Albert Germantown, MD 1 121,000
Kathy Kennedy Efland, NC 2 17,000
Helen Spooner Indian Head, MD 3 165,000
Taryn Crumlish Belmar, NJ 4 183,000
Brenda Lyons Orlando, FL 5 130,000
Christina Thompson Saddlebrook, NJ 6 110,000
Jamie Kerstetter Ventnor, NJ 7 291,000
Donna DiCrescento Staten Island, NY 8 265,000
Barbara Ganin Hillsdale, NY 9 70,000
The ninth place finisher was Kathy Kennedy. Kennedy is a coordinator for World Tavern
Poker, an organization that coordinates poker tournaments at bars and taverns
nationwide. Kennedy took home $1,475 after she pushed her short stack with king-high
against Taryn Crumlish’s 6-3 and a six hit the board. Kennedy was the first of five players
to be eliminated by the 2009 WSOPC Caesars Atlantic City Ladies champion.
Eighth place went to Jamie Kerstetter. Kerstetter, a 27-year old “laid-off tax attorney”
jokingly claims to be “Tiger Woods’ woman #9.” (jokingly, right Jamie?)
Although she was one of the chip leaders coming into the final table, Kerstetter doubled-up
shorter stacked Christina Thompson twice and soon found her own stack running low.
Kerstetter was all-in shortly after with 5’s versus the ace-high of Taryn Crumlish. Crumlish
spiked an ace on the flop and Kerstetter was finished after bricking the flop and river.
Eighth place paid $1,967.
The next elimination belonged to Donna DiCrescento. DiCrescento, last year’s Harrah’s AC
Ladies Event third place finisher, hoped to improve on her 2008 accomplishment, but was
thwarted by Helen Spooner after going all-in with A-6 off against Spooner’s A-J.
DiCrescento failed to improve and had to settle for seventh place and $2,459.
Software developer Barbara Ganin finished in sixth after going all-in with Ad-2d and getting
a call from Crumlish, who showed Kh-Qd. A king on the flop gave Crumlish the lead, but not
by much, as two diamonds also hit the board. Ganin couldn’t catch on the turn or river and
busted, earning $2,951.
Fifth place was Brenda Lyons of Orlando, FL. Lyons ran her Q-J into the pocket queens of
no other than Taryn Crumlish and was eliminated after a benign board. Fifth paid
After doubling up to about 500,000, Christina Thompson, a general manager from
Saddlebrook, NJ had a real shot of taking down the event. However, after a flop of
Qh-10c-9d, she made a fatal misstep when she tried to push Crumlish out of the sizable
pot, moving all-in for 450,000. Crumlish snap called.
“I got the nuts,” said Crumlish showing Jh-8c for the flopped straight. Thompson turned
over pocket 7’s and with no help on the turn or river saw her run end. Thompson took
home $3,934.
Three-handed play was between Crumlish, Albert and Spooner, who was down to under a
blind. Spooner was eliminated with 6-4 off against Albert’s ace high. Third place paid $5,410.
At about 1:00 am, heads-up action saw Crumlish against Albert. Crumlish, with a 2-1 chip
lead and not shy about taunting her opponents, tried in her own special way to extend an
olive branch to Albert.
“If you want to make a deal, we can make a deal,” she declared. “But you cannot beat me
heads-up.”
Calm and graceful, Albert held her own. “Well, I go home with 7,000 anyway, so we’ll see
what happens.”
It was a back and forth battle between Crumlish and Albert with the chip lead changing
places about three times. After about 90 minutes, the hand of the night saw the two
players in the pot with a 7-high flop. Both went all-in with Crumlish showing A-7 for
top pair, and Albert turning over pocket 8’s.
Crippled, Crumlish was soon all-in with 9d-4c only to be dominated by Albert’s 9h-7h.
Although a four hit the flop, it was accompanied by a 7. Deuces on the board and river
ended the match and Albert was victorious.
“Well, heads up is my best game, so it didn’t bother me at all,” said Albert of Crumlish’s
taunting comment earlier in the match. “If I had come in second, that was fine also. I just
played my best game.”
Alberts had this to say about women’s events “Women’s events are good for poker and
serve a purpose for women who are a little intimidated by men.”
“I’d like to see women’s events continue as they help women get over the intimidation
factor and bring more women into poker.”
Still to come are 8 more events and 15 nightly (single-day) satellites which begin at 3 pm
and 7pm.
The WSOP Circuit at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City continues through December 20th.
