Big Stacks PayingJul 02, '07 The trend in the last hour has been for most of our chip leaders to keep their opponent's in the game. Possibly the players who employed such aggressive tactics to acquire these large stacks haven't yet changed gears, and their short-stacked opponent's are reaping the benefits. Barry Greenstein paid off a short stack who moved all in on the river only to find he had turned a full house after flopping a set of Jacks. Jamie Gold bet $3,000 into Matt Lefkowitz on the turn in one hand, committing himself to calling Lefkowitz's subsequent all in push drawing dead with middle pair to Lefkowitz's top two pair.In a similar situation Chris Ferguson moved all in for $2,325 more, after his opponent bet $700 into a board of A J 9 4. His opponent called with J 10 only to find Ferguson had out flopped him with J 9. Ferguson doubled up when the 6 fell on the river. Isabelle Mercier, Raymond Davis. and Nam Le have all been eliminated in the last level while Jordan Morgan, Joe Hachem, and Jamie Gold have climbed among our chip leaders. Some Europeans building chips include Barny Boatman on $19,700, Thomas Wahlroos on $24,800, Willie Tann on $19,400, Chris Bjorin on $15,500 and Vicky Coren on $10,600.

Juanda BubblesJun 28, '07 The final nine are set for Event #44It took a while but Thang Luu finally put the last nail in John Juanda's coffin. After Matt Lefkowitz busted in 12th place the following hand cropped up. Mark Tenner was all-in preflop and called by Juanda and Luu. The flop came down J 10 6Juanda bet $10,000, and Luu called. The turn was the 9, Juanda bet $20,000, and Luu raised to $40,000. Juanda barely had enough to cover the bet and thought for several minutes. Finally he folded and Tenner was given the bad news, Luu held K-Q and he was drawing dead. After Tenner's elimination the final 10 redrew seats. Juanda managed to stick around for over 40 minutes, hitting two wheels and doubling up twice. However soon Luu would be back to finish the job. Juanda and Luu saw a flop with Juanda having less than one big bet left. The flop was A 10 8, and Juanda called Luu's bet, to find he was essentially only drawing for a chop. Luu held 10 10 6 4 to Juanda's A 7 3 3. The 9 and the Q hit on the turn and river, missing Juanda's low, and eliminating him in 10th place ($9,719) The final nine players are Seat 1- Martin Corpuz, Jr. $292,000 Seat 2- Ming Lee $373,000 Seat 3- Mitch Maples $70,000 Seat 4- Thang Luu $238,000 Seat 5- Jess Robinson $255,000 Seat 6- Frankie O'Dell $318,000 Seat 7- Marcel Luske $427,000 Seat 8- Marvin Ryan $104,000 Seat 9- Stuart Paterson $58,000 They will return to play a different version of a webcast final table. The table will be webcast, but they will not be sequestered behind the black curtain, and their holecards will not be shown. That final table will get underway at 2pm. Player Tags: John Juanda, Matthew Lefkowitz, Mark Tenner, Thang Luu Two TablesJun 28, '07 With the elimination of Robert Wittman in 19th place ($6,803), the players have now redrawn seats for the final two tables.John Juanda and Thang Luu will still butt heads, but the other table is a bit more daunting with Stuart Patterson, Marcel Luske, Matt Lefkowitz, Ernie Scherer, and Tony Cousineau. Blair Rodman was eliminated in 24th place when his opponent called his all in after outflopping him with only a pair of fives. Luske was very active in the last level, but didn't see the cards go his way, often doubling up the short stacks at his previous table. There are about 10 minutes left in the current level, and the players will go on dinner break once the level is completed. Chip Counts
