Michael Dyer Busts in 8th Place ($65,905)

Bring out your Dyers!
Bring out your Dyers!
Michael Dyer announced all in, but he knew he was in trouble when Scott Hall re-shoved. On their backs.

Dyer: {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}
Hall: {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}

Flop: {3-Spades} {10-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}

Hall still ahead.

Turn: {10-Hearts}

Suddenly it's looking good for a chop...

River: {K-Clubs}

No chop after all. Michael Dyer, er, dies, in a strictly tournament life sense, and play continues.

No Go Rho

Scott Hall met a raise from Peter Rho by moving all in. Rho clearly didn't like his hand that much, though, as he folded and Hall took the pot.

You Can Leave Your Hat On

[user46392]
Back on Day 1, we published a hat breakdown of one of our tournament rooms, finding three cowboy hats, an average of three baseball caps per table, and a grand total of one yellow fisherman hat. It is interesting to note that this final table contains exactly three baseball caps (Hall, Dresel-Velasquez and Harb), no cowboy hats, but our single fisherman hat remains, gracing the head of Jim Geary.

Thus we deduce:

- Cowboy hats: running bad
- Baseball caps: running averagely
- Fisherman hats: on fire

Make of that what you will.

20 Minute Break

Last hand of the level, Michael Dyer moved all in, but everyone was perhaps keener to go get some coffee than take him on, as they all folded.

The 1,000 chips will be colored up during this break. See you in 20.

Brent Sheirbon Eliminated in 9th Place ($59,315)

Sheirbon shorn

Brent Sheirbon had been rather quiet all final table and was down to 404,000 when he shoved with pocket {3-Hearts} {3-Spades}. But lucky Anthony Harb! He woke up with pocket {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}, snap-called, obviously, and although Sheirbon managed to pick up a flush draw by the turn, it was not to be. He tossed his bag of beef jerky into the crowd at the rail, shook hands with everyone, and headed for his exit interview.

Board: {8-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {J-Clubs}

Cowboys Are Hall's Friends

Hall is the King(s)!
Hall is the King(s)!
Once again, Scott Hall open-shoved for 433,000 -- and this time Adrian Dresel-Velasquez re-shoved for 1,200,000. Everyone else wisely passed. Action!

Dresel-Velasquez: {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs}
Hall: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}

Board: a changing-nothing {2-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}

Hall doubles up to around 900,000. It could be a long night.

Geary Runs Out of Juice, Wins Pot

[user46392]
[user46392]
Jim Geary and Anthony Harb saw a {10-Spades} {5-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} flop, and while Geary was considering his options, a TV gent appeared trying to change the battery in his mic pack thingy. Realizing that Geary was in a hand, the gent stopped trying to change the battery and crouched very still by the table, hoping that nobody would see him. Everyone saw him. Nevertheless Geary bet out 130,000, Harb folded, the battery was duly changed and play continues as normal.

Dyer McGowan'd

[user46392]
[user46392]
McGowan, by far the most active player on the final table, raised again, to 85,000. This time, however, Micahel Dyer re-popped him for a massive 500,000. Everyone else got out of their way, and back around to McGowan, a call.

Dyer: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}
McGowan: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

Board: {8-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {7-Diamonds} ("A five will chop it," says the TD; "Not going to happen!" shouts a pro-McGowan railer) {10-Diamonds}

Thus McGowan doubles up to around 1,200,000, to the delight of his buddies at the rail.
