23-Year-Old College Dropout Natasha Barbour
Wins Event 10
This is First Final Table for Her As she follows the Tournament
Trail
Council Bluffs, IA — Natasha Barbour was a college student at the University of South
Florida studying microbiology, but her heart was really in poker. She would even take her
books with her into the casino, playing while studying. Then, a year ago, after doing well
at the tables, she decided to drop out af school and pursue her real love. Tonight she
struck gold in the form of a gold-and-diamond championship ring when she joined a
handful of women, perhaps seven or eight, ever to win a WSOP Circuit open tournament.
Her victory, in event 10, $300 no-limit hold’em, was worth $12,444. The effervescent 23-
year-old from Miami could barely contain her excitement and delight throughout the final
table, her first ever as she follows the Circuit tournament trail. Her previous best
tournament finish was a 30th in the Bayou Poker Challenge at Harrah’s New Orleans.
Tonight she said she played a very steady game and was able to make big laydowns.
The final table began with blinds of 1,500-3,000 with 24 minutes left. Wade Readell led
with 151,800 chips.
Here were the starting chip counts:
Seat Name Chip Count
1. Doug “Rico” Carli 48,500
2. Brian Hansen 119,100
3. Jake Hamilton 97,200
4. Wade Readell 151,800
5. Duane Gerleman 64,400
6. Dale Johnson 129,200
7. Brandon Foster 28,000
8. Natasha Barbour 80,600
9. Jeremy Golden 83,500
9th place: With blinds at 2,000-4,000, Jake Hamilton went out ninth, cashing for $768.
He had 10s-8d, missed a flush on a flop of 5s-9s-Qs, and lost to Jeremy Golden, who
started with Q-9, flopped top two and filled on the river. Hamilton, cashing for $768, is
26 and from Lincoln, Nebraska.
8th place: Next to go was Brandon Foster. He went all in pre-flop with A-Q and ran into
Brian Hansen’s pocket kings. Foster flopped an ace, but Hansen flopped a set of kings
and was now a 97 percent favorite, Foster couldn’t beat the odds and took out $1,152 for
eighth. Foster, who cashed in the 2008 WSOP main event, is a 26-year-old air conditioning
technician from Lincoln, NE.
7th place: Doug “Rico” Carli holds the world’s record for Circuit cashes, this being his
40th. The trouble, he complained, is that once he makes a final table, he never seems to
win a race. Today was no exception. He was a slight favorite, all in with pocket 4s against
Readell’s A-K. As expected, there was a bullet on the flop, and Carli went out seventh for
$1,536. Carli, 54, is a retired stockbroker turned pro from Alliance, Ohio. His cashes include
19 final tables, two wins…”and too many losses.”
6th place: With blinds now at 2,500-5,000, Duane Gerleman had only 6,000 left and
decided to go all in with 10-9. He had two callers. The board came 3-J-7-4-9 with three
hearts, Jeremy Golden showed two hearts, and Gerleman took out $1,921 for sixth.
Gerleman, 54, a farmer from Ridgeway, Iowa, has made several final tables here in the
past three years. He also cashed 23rd in a WSOP Seniors event.
As play continued, Hansen shook his head after taking big hit, set-over-set. Much happier
a while later was Barbour, the second woman so far to make an open-event final table
here. All in with A-K, she jumped up excitedly when she flopped a king to outrun Golden’s
pocket 10s.
5th place: Back from break, blinds were now 4,000-8,000. On the first deal, the flop came
J-6-6. Holding J-4 in the small blind, Golden pushed all in. His jacks weren’t much good
because Hansen, holding 8-6, had trips. After a queen and ace came, Golden checked out
fifth and collected $2,305. Golden is a retired farmer from Sidney, Iowa
4th place: In the small blind with only 23,000 left, Readell went all in with Q-J, a big
favorite after Barbour called with J-10. But then a 10 hit the turn, and her pair put
Readell out in fourth place, worth $3,073. Readell, 34, is a farmer from Buchanan, North
Dakota whose poker play consists mainly of Poker League activities at home.
A big hand came down with the board showing 3-J-8-8. Holding J-10, Dale Johnson
moved in, and after long indecision, Barbour called, also all in. She had Q-8, her trips
held up, and she was now the chip leader.
3rd place: Blinds were now 5,000-10,000 with 1,000 antes. There was soon three-way
action.First, Hansen moved in for 117,000. Johnson called, and Barbour came over the
top all in. Figuring he was beat, Johnson folded. Hansen turned up 9-8, Barbour pocket
queens, and when the board came 8-K-Q-4-3, Hansen went out third for $3,841. Hansen,
36, is from Las Vegas and has numerous cashes at the WSOP and Venetian Deep Stack.
2nd place: Heads-up, Barbour enjoyed a lead of better than 3-1 over Johnson. He
quickly doubled up and drew about even when his pocket deuces beat her A-6 suited.
But the crusher came a couple of hands later. She looked at pocket aces on the
button/small blind and just limped. Johnson bit and moved in with Qc-3c and was down
to 61,000 after losing the pot. On the next and final hand he pushed in with Ks-7h and
she called with Jd-9d (“My favorite hand,” she said.) The board came 10-4-5-9-Q to give
her a winning pair of 9s, and the young lady became the newest member of a very elite
group. Johnson, cashing $6,530 for second, is a 62-year-old truck driver from Columbus,
Nebraska.
