Sharman Looking For The Same Result, Just Bigger

CPPT Main Event (Flight B)

Level 8 (250/500/75)
Total Entrants: 83

Sharman Olshan (Buffalo, NY)

The last week of a tournament series is always interesting because the culmination main events of such series always seem to have one of two effects, either players arrive early and play in a few pre-lim events or they stay after the main to play some post-lim events.

It remains to be seen who will be left at Foxwoods after they are knocked out of the Card Player Poker Tour Main Event, but one player who was here a day early and certainly glad she was, was Sharman Olshan (Buffalo, NY).

Sharman was pegged as a middle of the day chip leader in yesterday's Event 9 "Semi-Turbo" and then managed to spin that into a podium finish as she played nearly perfect at the Final Table to finish 3rd, earning herself just over $5,000.

Sharman bypassed the Ladies Event, currently down to their Final Table, to try to parlay her "semi-turbo" score into a piece of the $300,000 prize pool attached to this CPPT Main Event and perhaps become the first female player to raise a CPPTME title since Allyn Jaffery Shulman as she won the Venetian's stop Main Event in 2013.

Players have just entered Level 8, which means there are just under forty minutes remaining to late register and/or re-enter into the CPPT Main Event.
