Final Table Plus One
Jun 30, '07
Rafi Amit was dealt a wheel to eliminate Ben Armstrong in 8th place. The final 7 players have now been combined into one table. Dealing seven players into a hand of triple draw creates the potential situation for the deck to be completely dealt out before the action in the hand is completed. Sometimes at this stage, each of the 7 players will take turns sitting out for an enitre orbit; however in this case all seven players will be dealt into the hands.
Here are the recent eliminations:
8. Ben Armstrong - $19,489
9. Danny Fuhs - $14,075
10. Ralph Rudd - $14,075
11. Dan Dumont - $8,662
Eugene Ji has shown remarkable resilience surviving several all ins to stay alive in the tournament. In one all in hand Mark Bartlog and he each drew one card on the final draw. They each flipped over the cards they kept. Ji was in the lead showing a 8-6-5-3 to Bartlog's 8-7-4-2. Amazingly they both drew an Ace, and Ji's A-8-6 was good enough to take the pot. Soon after Ji was down to the felt in a pot against Andy Bloch. Bloch checked to Ji after the second draw, and Ji took one, while Bloch took two. Bloch then led out before the third draw, and Ji called leaving only one more bet behind. Bloch then drew one while Ji stood pat. Ji bet his last chips, and Bloch folded showing he drew to a 6-5-4-2 on the last draw, unfortunately pairing his two.
Action will stop once the 7th place finisher is determined.
