Robert Tanner Outlasts Tough Final Table, Wins Ring and $18,810
Martin Ryan's exit in fourth place left the door open, and Robert Tanner was happy to step through it.
Tanner eventually found himself heads-up against David Gunas, who won a ring in South Florida late in 2017. The two men traded big pots back and forth for a while before getting it all in with nearly dead-even stacks. Tanner's pocket fours had Gunas' pocket deuces in bad shape, and a board full of blanks all but ended it. Gunas was left with just a single ante, and he was eliminated as the runner-up one hand later.
The 54-year-old Tanner resides in Wellington, Florida. He's added another win for the part-time players at Coco, making it three for four so far. Tanner is married with seven children, he's a forensic accountant by day, and he's now a WSOP Circuit winner. This result is one of the largest on his tournament record.
More about Tanner's performance will be published shortly.
