Lemke dedicates $5k WSOP win to Shronk

Lemke was overwhelmed following his hard-won victory.
"It's a sick thing to happen," Lemke revealed.

He had to conquer a final table replete with marquee names, one of whom was online sensation Isaac "WestmenloAA" Baron.

Baron looked ready to dominate the final table in the early stages, eliminating danger-man David pham and Christian Iacobellis in the same hand to set himself up with a big stack.

He couldn't maintain this momentum however, crashing out in 7th place to Lemke when his top pair was outkicked and he was unable to slip the noose.

Danny Illingworth succumbed shortly after this, and he was joined at the rail by Lika Gerasimova, the girlfriend of 2008 WSOP main Event runner-up ,Ivan Demidov.

Gerasimova's reputation as a top-flight online poker player is growing all the time, and it won't have been hurt by her 5th-place finish here.

Four-handed, it was Quoss who appeared to be the man to beat. The German built a huge stack, which he used effectively as a weapon to subdue the other players.
