Final Table Decided

Jun 23, '07

Gioi Luong bet out $32,000 before the flop and Jordan Smith reraised all in for about $100,000. Luong thought about it for a few moments and decided to call. Luong showed A 10 and Smith had pushed with J J. The board came 7 6 2 10 A and Luong picked up another $100,000 in chips. Smith was eliminated in 10th place and earned $10,902. Smith's elimination established the final table and the final nine players and their chip counts are as follows:
