Ian Johns is OUT in 30th, his pre-flop all-in push being instacalled by Mike Wattel

Johns =

Wattel -

Board =

Ian got excited on the Turn, but was visibly frustrated when he missed all 14 outs.

 jen  wasnt that eggman  thomas  very sort stack early on ?

[snoopy1239]

Lyle Berman is also OUT.

All-in pre-flop against my pick of the day, Sorel Mizzi, with K-J vs. Aces.

Lyle eventually made three Jacks, but unfortunately for him, Sorel flopped a set.

Yes, he only had around 30k at one point during the latter stages.

hello YOYO, hows it hangin??   ( i have actually saved that one for a while now)

[Djinn]

Hi MadTurk, yes, he's one of three stacks which were dangerously low at one point and have come back to challenge the leaders - the others being Tim Phan and Scott Fischman...

Counts from Table Wahlroos:

Tom Pniak      350,000 (just doubled up with all-in against Jimmy Tran's - all in pre, but spiked a King on the flop to survive)
Kirk Morrison    1,700,000
Grant Lang      1,200,000
Can Hua          1,280,000
Adeeb Harb     740,000
Thomas Wahlroos  2,200,000
Guy Laliberte    1,440,000
Jimmy Tran       560,000

[NoflopsHomer]

Jen, if Roland wins, will he spend all the money on phone chargers?

[snoopy1239]

Jake Minter =

Raymond Davis =

Board =

Double up for Minter.

[Djinn]

Third Table Counts:

Raymond Davis    380,000
David Baker       1,034,000
Jake Minter        1,620,000
Loi Phan             450,000
Ben Johnson      1,490,000
Carlos Mortensen  2,140,000
Mike Wattel         1,630,000

The switch between Raymond Davis' and Jake Minter's stack sizes occurred just now when Jake somehow got it all in preflop with (I am sure there was an interesting preflop raise-re-raise tango but I missed it) against Davis' .  A big pot, and a pretty annoyed Raymond Davis when the flop came and the turn and river didn't redraw the Ace.  Ow.

[snoopy1239]

An odd hand just occurred on Table Eggman with Kirk Morrison limping for 20k, Can Hua raising it up to 100k from the button and both Wahlroos (big blind) and limper Morrison smooth calling.

Flop =

Wahlroos bets out 200k, Morrison calls and Hua makes it 600k.

Wahlroos folds, Morrison announces all-in and, surprisingly, Hua goes into the think tank with just 280,000 left in front of him.

"I guess that means I'm ahead," says Morrison.

"Clock!" calls Wahlroos after accidentally telling everyone that he had Pocket Jacks.

"I think our Asian friend is making a move with K-J or something," continued Wahlroos, to which most were in agreement.

So, imagine everyone's surprise when Hua folded Nines face up.

"I wouldn't have folded, too many outs," commented Roland observing from the neighbouring table.

[snoopy1239]

Thomas Schreiber is OUT in 28th.

Roland raised it up, Richard Anthony pushed all-in in for 314k and Thomas Schreiber followed suit for 250k.

Roland folded and the following hands were flipped over...

Schreiber =

Anthony =

Flop =

Turn =

River =

Case Nine. Ouch.

How end this day ?

• When time is up ?
• or when there is enough eliminated players to do a final table?

[snoopy1239]

Down to 27 means we're done for the day. Chip counts coming up...

[Djinn]

A couple of objections from players when they reached the last-three-tables mark to carrying on play at all mean, apparently, that play is suspended until tomorrow after just 5 hours.  Personally I think this is a mistake - one more level played today might avoid a 4am finish tomorrow (the penultimate day).  But I'm always saying that, and the field is still working away at itself with fair speed... chip counts coming...
