Gilmore Rivered, Out in 4th ($241,472)
Peter Gilmore appeared to be in good shape when he got his last 1.18 million in holding A
K
against Sam Trickett’s A
10. Things looked OK through the turn too, running J8
Q8.
But the river was a nightmare for Gilmore, as the 9 gave Trickett a straight, knocking Gilmore out in 4th place, for which he earned $241,472.
Trickett regained a lot of chips, holding around 5 million after the hand.
Williams Falls in 3rd Place ($328,762)
Jeff Williams was short on chips and forced to push all in for 940,000. He was called by Jason DeWitt and the two showed down.
DeWitt: 77
Williams: A5
The board of 4210KQ didn’t improve Williams’ hand and he was gone in 3rd place. He won $328,762.
The elimination left Jason DeWitt and Sam Trickett heads up. DeWitt held 6.8 million to Trickett’s 4.9 million.

Minaya First To Go ($62,350)
Jun 10, '10
Manny Manaya Busts in 9th ($62,350)
Short on chips, Manny Minaya pushed his last 191,000 to the middle of the table and Jeff Williams called from the button.
Minaya showed A8 and looked to be in trouble against Williams’ A10. The flop came A2K, pairing both players, but Williams’ 10 still factored in as better kicker.
The turn came 10, giving Williams two pair and leaving Minaya drawing thin to a chopped pot. But the river was the J and Minaya was the first elimination from the final table, taking home $62,350. Williams had around 2 million after the hand.
DeWitt Soars to Chip Lead
On a flop of A52 Peter Gilmore bet 110,000 and Jason DeWitt check-raised to 260,000. Gilmore moved all in and DeWitt called, with Gilmore covering DeWitt in chips.
DeWitt had to be pleased to see that his AA was well ahead of Gilmore’s drawless AQ. The 6 turn and Q river changed nothing and DeWitt’s stack soared past 2.5 million, giving him the chip lead.
