Event #7 - Robert Blescia takes down $340 NL.

Event #7 was yet another $340 NL event.  Event #4 champions, Dennis Summers, took 12th in this event, netting another $562 in career earnings.  Robert Blescia eventually took down the event for $12,750.  In an interesting side note, a Ronald McDonald also finished in the money.  (Grimace probably railed him.)

Event #8 - Defending Champion Repeats

Event #8 was the Ladies event.  59 ladies took the felt of this $230 buy-in event looking to take down the title and $4,248 in prize money.  Last year, this event was won by Sarah Wasch of Philadelphia, PA. Wasch made the final table of the event again this year, and ultimately repeated as champion.
