WPT Championship -- Day 5Scotty Nguyen Leads the Way |
|
The final table at the 2009 WPT Championship is set. There are still two more days of play remaining, but the field played down so fast that it caused not only one early day, but presented an opportunity for another tomorrow. On Friday, the field will have to cut itself from 10 to just six, leaving four players on the outside looking in.
Here are the final 10 and their chip counts:
Take a look at how the action went down according to Card Player’s live updates:

3, while Binger was behind with J
4.
The board came out ace high, and Binger’s hand bricked, sending him to the rail in 24th place. After the hand, Nguyen had 2,300,000.
David Grey moved all in for 233,000, and Brian Rast made the call with pocket aces. Grey could only show K
5, and couldn’t overcome Rast and his big pair. Rast now has 1,900,000.
Matt Hyman Eliminated in 21st Place ($49,025)Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 100,000, and Matt Hyman moved all in. Lichtenberger called with K
8, and Hyman showed pocket fives. The board brought an 8, and Lichtenberger increased his stack to 1,550,000.
Marco Johnson found himself all in for his last 800,000 against Justin Young. Johnson showed A-K and was dominating Young’s A-Q, but the turn was a queen, giving Young the better hand.
Young increased his stack to 4,850,000 and Johnson finished in 20th place.
Christian Harder raised to 400,000 on the button, and Eric Liu moved all in from the big blind for 655,000. Harder called with J 10, and Liu revealed a dominating K 10.
Unfortunately for Liu, the board ran out 10 7 5 J A, and Harder’s turned two pair gave him the pot and a stack of 3,400,000. The final 18 players then redrew for the final two tables.

Owen Crowe Eliminated in 17th Place ($65,370)Owen Crowe, Justin Young, Ross Boatman, and Sinan Yoyen saw a flop of 9 3 3. Crowe bet, and Young raised to 480,000.
