John Conkright has the button in Seat 2. From under the gun, Anatoly Shilyuk makes it 32,000 to go. All fold to Rep Porter in the small blind, who reraises to 82,000. Michiel Brummelhuis folds his big blind, bringing the action back to Shilyuk. Shilyuk takes twenty seconds before announcing that he is all in for about 245,000 more. Porter folds.

Devin Porter has the button in seat 1. John Conkright raises to 30,000 from the small blind. Rep Porter calls from the big blind. The flop comes {J-Clubs} {J-Spades} {3-Diamonds}. Conkright bets 42,000. Porter raises to 105,000. Conkright folds fairly quickly and Rep Porter wins the pot.

Final Table Fashion

It's a bit chillier in the Amazon Room today than it's been in recent days. Even though most players are sporting short sleeves, none seems affected by the cool air. Michiel Brummelhuis is the most colorfully dressed of our six final table players. His ensemble includes a white World Series of Poker baseball cap, a purple button down shirt, and brown pants that have thick red and green stripes running down each leg.

If Brummelhuis wins this event, maybe he'll spawn a new wave in poker fashion.

Devin Porter, despite being only 24 years old, finds himself at his second WSOP final table. The native of San Diego, CA, who now calls Provo, Utah his home, has over $750,000 in career tournament earnings in only three years. His most recent significant cash was at last year��s WSOP in the $2,000 Pot Limit Hold��em event in which he finished 23rd. Porter plans to emerge from this final table victorious and dedicate the win to his father.
