Play Concludes For The Night
Jun 28, '07
Play has officially ended for the night. The bubble was burst after only three hands in the hand-for-hand period. David Bach moved all in for his last $18,300, and he was called by the player in Seat 1 who had him exactly covered. Bach had two pair, Kings and twos, but Seat One turned over Kings and eights for a better two pair.
Carl Olson, Isabelle Mercier, Jeff Shulman, and Fred Goldberg were some of the pros to be eliminated in the last hour. Shulman lost a race to Jamie Gold with pocket Jacks to Gold's A-Q. Goldberg was the victim of a horrendous beat. Goldberg moved all in on a flop of 10
5
4
, and his opponent went deep into the tank. Goldberg called the clock on him, and he called just as time was winding down. Goldberg showed K

and his opponent tabled Q
10
. Goldberg's face dropped as the dealer dealt out the 10
on the turn. The 5
fell on the river and Goldberg was eliminated in 82nd place just out of the money.
Congratulations were announced for Phil Hellmuth for his 62nd career World Series cash, and Men Nguyen was also lauded for this 59th career cash. The tournament director's first announced that it was his 56th cash, and he was quick to correct him.
Defending champion Jeff Madsen is still alive in the tournament, but he is on the short stack, losing a pot to Justin Bonomo on the last hand of the evening. Dutch Boyd, who won a short-handed bracelet last year, is among the chip leaders with close to $300,000, having raked a huge pot in a boat-over-boat situation. Also still alive are Allen Cunningham, Joe Beevers, Ram Vaswani, Mark Vos, Scott Clements, and Tobey Maguire among others.
The players will return at 2pm tomorrow to play down to the final nine
