I think Daniel Negreanu is a good bet here:

Gotta like Annie Duke in this spot at +150+ as she is a two time WSOP braclet winner and used to the pressures this grinding event brings forth.
The best female player on the circuit today and also very good at playing the short stack.
Can Indiana/Rx. Matt handle a hot and humid pressure cooker in Vegas and beat this beauty in her own backyard?
Time will tell, but, you don't just waltz into the Rio and walk away with a win. See: Buckner at Shea.
Play: Pass
Opinion: Duke +150+

She was pissed off that one blackjack player was trying to help out his friend by not playing all his chips (played like $24900 instead of $25000 all in and it changed the order of the betting for subsequent elimination hands) There was no rule against this and although it was poor form, it was done.
Then a whole debate started about lying and not lying cause the guy said he was not trying to help his friend.
Annie said - no good person lies and poker is so wonderful because she can lend someone $10,000 and know she'll get the money back for sure cause of poker integrity. I called her on it and said - hey you make your living by lying.
She got all offended and tried to debate why it was ok for her to lie. I had a great time getting her all agitated.
In any case, I walked right by her at the WSOP this year while she was on a break. I said hello. She pretended not to have any clue who I was and didn't say a word.
Beat her ass Matt.
