Steve Dannenmann, the Anne Arundel accountant who won more than $4 million for placing second in the World Series of Poker main event in 2005, just won a $10,000 seat in this summer’s big dance in Las Vegas.

Dannenmann got his ticket punched to the WSOP by finishing in the top two in a charity poker event at the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles over the weekend that included several hundred players. Actress Shannon Elizabeth, a frequent poker player, won the other seat.

The Severn accountant and financial adviser also seems to have another partner, just like he did when he won the $4.25 million that he split with pal Jerry Ditzell who had put up half the buy-in back in ‘05. This time, it’s poker pro Annie Duke, who coached Dannenmann through the final stages of the charity tournament.

"I told Annie, ‘If I win a seat, I’ll give you 50 percent of anything I win’ … and by the way, I was drunk," Dannenmann said, laughing. Dannenmann earned — and I do mean earn — the nickname "Bloody Mary" during a crucial run in the 2005 tournament.

In May, he plans to play in another world series, the World Series of Golf, also in Vegas, a hybrid event scheduled to be televised in May on NBC. http://www.worldseriesofgolf.com/
