The Legend of Dan Wagner

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Top local cash game grinder Dan Wagner spent most of the last level having some type of hissy fit over the fact PokerNews called Cameron Bartolotta a local legend. Green with envy, apparently Wagner thought it was too much praise for the formidable Bartolotta, who graciously thanked PokerNews for the compliment instead of engaging with the suddenly raging Wagner.

Finally, as Level 6 passed the half way mark, Wagner calmed down, sat down, and decided to start adding to his own legend. Wagner bet 9,200 into a pot of 33,000 on the river of a {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} board and sat very patiently as his opponent tanked for what seemed like an eternity.

Eventually he folded and Wagner is now above the starting stack for the first time today.
