Memorable hand:
The hand that eliminated Bonnie Rossi in sixth place was an absolute heartbreaker. She went all in and made a 6-high straight and a 6-low, seemingly enough to double her up – until ethier showed that he had made a 7-high straight and a better 6-low.
Other noteworthy finishers were Howard Lederer in 14th place and Mel Judah in 21st place.

Running numbers:
2: Number of women at the final table, the first such occurrence at the ’05 Series
10: Total number of WSOP final tables reached by Tom McCormick without ever winning a bracelet.
