Level 14: Blinds 1k/2k/300 ante
(l-r) Khazanova, Khait & Vlasova
Anna Khait (Brooklyn, NY) didn't satellite into the Championship Event, but still has a rooting interest. Several players are pledging a portion of their winnings to the AMA Animal Rescue in New York, a nonprofit she and her friends Anna Khazanova & Mariya Vlasova founded.
With ~250 players remaining, Anthony Zinno, Joe Liberta and Greg Rudolph are three players who are hoping to make the money and donate to the cause.
"I rescued a cat," says Rudolph, "so it's something that's personal for me."
Rudolph is at 85k (43 bb) and side-by-side with Zinno who is at 285k (143k).
Khait isn't just another pretty face, but a serious player who donates as well. She gave 20% of her
winnings (~$600 of $3,035 earnings) from Event 1 when she finished in 110th place out of nearly 4,500 entries.
Khait has played many events throughout the series, but is taking tonight off to celebrate her birthday and sweat the Championship Event.
