David Daggett Eliminated in 22nd Place ($33,967)

[user253757]

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

After qualifying for this WPT World Championship through the Club WPT online poker platform, David Daggett proved he can play poker with real money on the line.

He made a deep run against this stacked field, surviving for three days of play against the game's elite players, but his Cinderella story just came to an abrupt end.

Bobby Oboodi opened for 36,000 from the hijack and Daggett three-bet shoved for 189,000, folding the button and the blinds. Oboodi wasn't going anywhere with his though, and he was dominating Daggett's - until the flop fell that is.

The turn came to give Oboodi additional outs to oust the amateur, and one of those additions floated down the river when the hit the table. Oboodi's runner-runner spike to make Broadway did the job, and Daggett headed for the payout cage with a story to take home - along with $33,967 for his 22nd place finish.

Daggett was overheard talking to a Royal Flush girl on the rail (run better Mr. Daggett... run better), saying "twenty-five bucks a month for thirty thousand? I'll take it."
