A few orbits later, he got four bets in preflop against Daniel Idema and saw a fop of 7A7. Idema checked, Ray bet, and after some deliberation, Idema raised the rest of Ray’s chips. Ray called and saw he was way ahead with his AJ against Idema’s K9. The turn was the 6 and Idema was drawing dead, which doubled Ray up to 770,000.

Morris picked up $62,897 for his seventh place finish. Idema Moving in the Right Direction Zvi Groysman raised from the cutoff and Daniel Idema called from the big blind. The flop came 95K and Idema check-raised a bet from Groyman. Groysman made the call and saw the 10 fell on the turn. Idema led out and was called once again by Idema. The 8 was the river card and Idema fired one more bullet and that caused Groysman to release his hand. Idema is now up to 1,360,000 with that pot. Parker’s Chips Wearing Out the Felt Brock Parker has been on a roller coaster ride this level. He has been crippled and doubled up twice already when this hand came along. Daniel Idema raised from the cutoff and was three-bet by Brock Parker from the button. Idema put in a fourth bet and Parker got all of his 120,000 in the middle with KQ and was ahead of Idema’s 89. The flop was 7A4, giving Parker the lead with king-high and the nut flush draw as well. The turn was a blank and the 3 on the river gave Parker the nut flush and the pot. Parker doubled up to 330,000.

When the 4 hit on the river, Idema bet again. “I missed,” said Woods with a chuckle as he tossed his cards into the muck. Idema finished the job the very next hand when Idema’s Q-10 toppled Woods’ 2-4. Lucky Nine For Ray The river was already dealt and the board read KK10J9. David Chiu bet out and was raised by Kyle Ray. Chiu thought for a second before making the call and showed KQ, good for a straight, but Kyle Ray turned over the 99, giving him a full house that he made on the river. Chiu fell to 150,000 and Ray climbed to just shy of the 700,000 mark. David Baker Eliminated David Baker was crippled in a hand with Brock Parker which left him with just 75,000 after he folded to a river bet. A few hands later, Baker raised on the button and Matt Keikoan called from the big blind. The flop was K64 and Keikoan check-raised a bet from Baker. Baker tanked for a minute before putting in the last of his chips and the cards were turned up. Baker had Q10 and Keikoan showed the 104, leaving Baker with just three outs. The turn was the 2 and the river was the 10, giving the pot to Keikoan and sending Baker home with $32,614 in his pocket. Anh Van Nguyen Eliminated The board read Q652 on the turn and Anh Van Nguyen bet and got a call from Jameson Painter. The river was the A and Painter checked and Nguyen bet. Painter raised and that brought a sigh from Nguyen, who played with his last few chips before putting his last 34,000 into the middle. Nguyen showed the AQ, but Painter showed the K10, giving him the nut flush and the pot. With the elimination of Nguyen, who gets $32,614 for his 10th place finish, we are down to our final nine players and the final table will get started shortly.
