Final Table Set
Jun 20, '07
Action got down to ninehanded and each hand was watched by the eyes of ESPN cameras and rail birds closely. In the end Howard Lederer was the television bubble boy when he was busted by the two pair of Jeffrey Lisandro. The players then re-drew for seats at the final table. A decision now had to be made to play through the night, or come back tomorrow. The ESPN producers made their case for the latter, since they intended to film the action. Lisandro was the only player who wanted to continue, but he changed his mind when they told him they would begin the final table at 1 p.m. tomorrow. This would allow him to still participate in the 5 p.m. event tomorrow. The players then bagged up their chips and this is how things will look when they take their seats at 1 p.m. tomorrow:
Seat No. 1: Daniel Negreanu - $164,500
Seat No. 2: Gregory Pappas - $144,000
Seat No. 3: Nick Frangos - $90,500
Seat No. 4: David Brody - $16,000
Seat No. 5: Jeffrey Lisandro - $195,000
Seat No. 6: Nesbitt Coburn - $150,500
Seat No. 7: Severin Walser - $24,000
Seat No. 8: Farshad Cohen - $75,500
