After Dinner UpdateJul 13, '07 Edler Sidesteps CoolerWith over $300,000 in the pot and the board reading 9 9 3, Imran Amhad pushed his last $508,000 into the pot. After some thought Phillip Yeh pushed all in over the top. Bill Edler was on the button and quickly folded. Yeh asked, "Queens?" as he turned over his K K. He was right on the money as Amhad turned over Q Q. The turn and the river were the 6 and the K, and Yeh scooped the pot. Edler intimated to Card Player's Tim Lavali, that he had folded pocket Jacks. He said that he had called the $95,000 preflop knowing he was most likely behind and right he was. Roller Coaster Robin Bergen was all in preflop for his tournament life, and was of course the victim of the poker god's cruel sense of humor. Bergen held the advantage with A A against Martin Miller's Q Q. Miller surged ahead with the K Q 4 flop. Bergen received no help on the turn as the 9 fell, but found vindication on the river as the A peeled off to keep him in the tournament. DeBest & Dario Peter DeBest has been seated at the table with Dario Minieri, and has been privy to his wide range of starting hands. Debest was able to sniff out one of Minieri's bluffs, but then fell victim to the next. On a 9 8 2 flop Debest bet $110,000, only to get raised by Mineri to $310,000. Debest eventually made the call, and both players checked both the 6 turn and the A on the river. Debest showed Q-Q and Minieri mucked. A few hands later Mineri reraised DeBest's preflop raise to $120,000. After careful consideration, and Mineri proceeded to try and double his bet, exposing his "double-down hand" 8-3 offsuit. Kravchenko the King of Vegas Alex Kravchenko raised preflop from early position to $35,000, Karim Vegas moved all in over the top, and Kravchenko hesitated very little before calling with A A. Vegas showed 10 10 and needed some help. The board ran out 9 8 4 Q Q, and Vegas was eliminated. Huck Seed Busts One Huck Seed raised from early position, and after the button called, Robert Nehorayan moved all in for about $280,000 more from the big blind. After lots of thought Seed made the call and showed Q Q, and he led Nehorayan's 10 10. Seed maintained his lead on the flop of A 9 7, the turn Q virtually sealed Nehorayan's fate, and the 4 fell on the river. There are currently 145 players left. Notable Chip Counts

The flop came 10 10 3 Morrison checked, Bergren bet $150,000, Morrison called. The turn card was the J, Morrison bet $175,000, and Bergren made the call. The river card was the 7, and Morrison moved all in. Bergren mucked his cards and Morrison raked the pot. Maria Stomps Keating Action folded around to Maria Ho in the small blind who raised to $60,000. Alan Keating reraised all in for his last $256,000 more. Ho quickly counted out the call and separated it from her stack, but then went into the tank for several minutes. She eventually made the call. Ho showed K J, which trailed Keating’s A Q, but not for long. The flop hit Ho hard, as it fell K J 5. Keating’s four outs were erased as the J fell on the turn. The K fell on the river, and Keating was bounced in 104th place. Degree All-In Moment Bill Edler limped from the cutoff, the player in seat No. 5 raised to $80,000, Pete DeBest called from the small blind, Edler moved all in over the top, seat No. 5 folded, and Pete DeBest went into the tank. DeBest, in the course of trying to determine what Edler could be holding, reached into his bad. Edler joked “That’s not an electronic device is it?” The other players then smiled as DeBest produced a stick of Degree deodorant, to assist him with his decision. Edler announced to the ESPN cameras, “I always use Degree, it keeps me dry in moments like these.” DeBest eventually made the call showing A K, and Edler tabled J J. The board ran out 10 6 3 5 5, Debest counted his chips and found he was short Edler’s bet by $86,000, and he headed for the payout area. More Money for Shopping Baby! With the elimination of Cody Slaubaugh in 100th place, Jack Effel announced over the microphone that another pay bump had now been reached, and the next nine players eliminated would receive $65,535. Scotty Nguyen then announced to the crowd: “More money for the wife for shopping, baby!” Silber Solves Dario Dario Minieri has confounded his opponents with his wildly unpredictable play for four straight days in the main event, but Reagan Silber finally caught him. Minieri made the minimum raise preflop from middle position and was called by Silber on the button and the big blind. The flop was 10 5 3, Minieri bet $100,000, and was called by Silber. The turn was the 7, Minieri checked, Silber bet $200,000, Minieri immediately moved all in and Silber called just as quickly. Silber held 3 3, and Minieri held Q 8. The river card was the 9, and after each of the players chips were counted, Silber’s $1.2 million barely covered Minieri’s stack and he was eliminated in 96th place. Other Notable Eliminations Also busting in the last hour were Chad Brown who could no longer weather the short stack, and bowed out in 97th place. Kelly Jo McGlothin pushed all of her remaining chips in on a flush draw, and couldn’t find her fifth heart. Her elimination leaves Maria Ho as the last remaining woman in the field.

ESPN film crews are swarming the tournament area in an effort to catch every piece of action and the shuffling of personnel has given the tournament area the feel of a madhouse. A player can't so much as raise the blinds without a camera directly in his face watching every moment.Tran Donates a Little David Tran came into day six as the official chip leader by only $30,000 but has taken a few hits in the first hour and has slipped down the leaderboard. Tran got involved in a pot with Jeff Bryan and both players saw a flop of A Q 4. Tran led out with a bet of $285,000 and Bryan called. The turn was the 6 and this time Tran turned up the heat with a $625,000 bet. Bryan thought for a moment and declared that he was all in for $1,215,000 more. Tran eyed his opponent and mucked his hand. Bryan picked up almost a $1,000,000 in chips without ever having to show his hand. Movin' On Up Shortly before being moved to the ESPN featured table, Daniel Alaei raised to $165,000 under the gun. David Tran, Philip Hilm and Jeff Bryan all made the call. "This would be a good time to get aces" joked Ryan Elson who was in the big blind. Elson looked at his cards and said "I raise." Elson counted out the $165,000 he owed and then said "I'm all in." The raise was for $1,540,000. Alaei folded, as did Tran. Hilm called from the four seat and Bryan got out of the way. Elson turned over 10 10 and Hilm was holding 6 6. The flop came 8 5 4 and Elson stood out of his seat and started yelling to his fans on the rail. The turn was the 9 and Elson started yelling for paint on the river. The river brought the Q and Elson doubled to over $3,000,000. While Elson stacked his newly acquired chips, he was so happy after doubling up that he folded his small blind without ever looking at his cards. Freeman Takes a Hit Scott "SCTrojans" Freeman took a $3,000,000 hit in the first hour courtesy of Raymone Rahme. Freeman and Rahme were all in before the flop with Freeman showing pocket kings and Rahme holding pocket aces. The board bricked out for both players and Rahme's aces held up, giving him the almost $6,000,000 pot. Kevin Kim Eliminated in 32nd Place ($285,678) Paulo Loureiro raised to $200,000 from the button and Kevin Kim reraises all in from the small blind for $380,000 more. Louriero thought for a moment and called. Kim showed A K and Loureiro was holding A 9. The flop came J 9 8 and Louriero jumped into the lead. The turn was the Q and Kim picked up a few more outs. Any spade, ten or king would give Kim the pot and keep him alive. The river proved unkind for Kim when it brought the 6. Louriero took down the pot and Kim was eliminated in 32nd place. Recent Eliminations 36th Place - Robin Bergren ($285,678) 35th Place - Allan King ($285,678) 34th Place - Hoa Nguyen ($285,678) 33rd Place - Christian Togsverd ($285,678) 32nd Place - Kevin Kim ($285,678) Notables
