A Happy Ending (Of Sorts) For Berten Dragten

The Word Poker Tour Amateur champion has been eliminated from WPT Ireland, in his own words, "playing like an amateur…just like I am."

We had dinner with Berten Dragten and Ross Boatman and they were discussing his exit hand. It appears that Dragten made a hero call after sensing his opponents weakness. His read was right but unfortunately for Dragten his opponents holdings were slightly better than our WPT Amateur champions. He is pretty down about the exit so we didn’t want to push him for more detailed info. Instead we thought The Royal Flush Girls Raysa Peres and Violet Dillon could cheer him up a bit.
