WSOP $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. Final: Live Update - Interactive

[Djinn]

$2,000

Ran into Skalie having a break - they're all in the money now, by the way - and he said he's still right at the top of the pack with 65,000, although there are apparently two stacks over 80k.  Dave is still above average, from what I could see (table walk ban enforced) while Julian and John are there too.  They're doing "round for round" at the moment - like hand-for-hand but a round.  Kind of obvious, actually.  Anyway, that leads me to believe we're on some kind of money-up bubble over there.

Chip takes a couple of pots. Firstly, he bet 100k on a flop with Phil Ivey, and then, straight after, snapped up the blinds with a preflop raise.

Doyle Brunson is OUT and becomes the 8th place finisher winning $274,560

[snoopy1239]

The damage was predominatly derived from a preflop all-in encounter with TJ Cloutier.

Doyle's K-J failed to outdraw Cloutier's T-T, resulting in the 73 year old dropping down to the felt.

The following hand, his remaining chips went in on a flop of .

With , Doyle needed a miracle to outdo Singer's , a miracle that never came.

The turn was the seven of clubs leaving Doyle drawing dead. The River wasn't shown.

As expected, Doyle exited the table to a raptuous applause from the crowd, many of whom offered a standing ovation.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks,

If the final table was HORSE my money would be on Andy Bloch/TJ Cloutier to win, its a shame its NLHE, the cadillac of poker ( ie overweight, oversteers and has to be recalled every once in a while ).

[El Yortle]

If the final table were HORSE I would have no doubt that Chip would be the favourite.

Great updates guys & gals, i can't wait to fly over now

Just to give you a bit more info on the lesser know David Singer...

Singer is from White Plains in New York and has encountered his fair share of cashes, the combination of which forms the sum of $1,419,690, a highly impressive figure to say the least.

His most notable victory was in the $7,500 Heads Up No Limit Hold 'Em at the Mirage a couple of months back.

However, this is only his third highest cash. On September 19th he won $249,755 for a 6th place finish in the Borgata WPT, the, just a few months later, he finished 3rd in January's WPT Main Event in the 2006 Pokerstars.com Caribbean Adventure for a highly impressive $436,200.

So, overall, not a player to be taken lightly.

Dewey Tomko is our 7th place finisher - winning himself a cool $343,200

Dewey raised under the gun to 100k (showing strength...) and the next player to act, Andy Bloch, re-raised to 300k (ditto).  This was really an "all-in or not all-in" question, answered when Dewey re-raised an unfoldable amount, and they were on their backs:

Dewey Tomko: 
Andy Bloch: 

Flop:     (bit of an intake of breath from the announcer)
Turn: 
River: 

And Dewey Tomko headed off the Stage...
