Will Pezzin Carry Through?
All of the hopes of Team PokerStars are now riding on the shoulders of Canadian Pat Pezzin. Pezzin, who achieved Team Pro status just prior to the start of the NAPT Mohegan Sun event a few months ago, has been grinding a short stack all day. With just three places to go to the money, Pezzin is in serious danger of bubbling the tournament. He doesn't have the easiest draw, either. Even though Doyle Brunson was eliminated from the table, Brunson's seat was soon occupied by Vladimir Schmelev.
The line-up is tough, but Pezzin didn't make it this far just by chance. He's played some great poker while wearing the PokerStars patch. Now all that's left to do is bring it home.
