Back From Dinner
Jun 28, '07
Ernie Scherer busted just before the dinner break when he couldn't top Stuart Paterson's Aces.
There are currently 13 players left with three quick eliminations stacking up just after dinner. Tony Cousineau, nursing a severely short stack moved all in twice, and received the help he needed only once. Way behind against his Frankie O'Dell the first time, he back-doored a low draw to take half the pot, saying, "That's why I'm the best player in the world." On the very next hand he moved in with set of tens, but his opponent called with the nut flush draw, and the spade on the river ended Cousineau's tournament. He earned $8,747 for his finish.
John Juanda's still nursing a short stack, but he's hanging on.
Play will continue until the final nine are decided.

Two Tables
Jun 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.
