Lisa Teebagy is having a nice series and she can keep it rolling in the Main Event. We opened the series with a $250 Super Stack multi-flight tournament and she cruised through the final table.

Teebagy held the lead for most of the time, right up until the final hand when David Albertson topped her by a bit. They chopped it down the middle, she took second place but the same amount of money. Then she entered Event 3 and cashed again.
