Three Tables
Jun 29, '07
The remaining 24 players have been combined into the final three tables. The tournament officials are preparing to color up the $100 chips following the completion of this level.
Chad Brown was eliminated in 35th place ($4,498) when he ran into Jeff Rodriguez's scoop-worthy six high straight.
Dan Heimiller was eliminated in 29th place ($4,498) when he could no longer coast on the short stack.
Ron "Grumpy" Ware received a stay of execution soon after the tables were redrawn. Ware moved all in with a (A

. Ware essentially locked up the high when he received the 6
for the boat, but Delacruz received the 7
giving him four cards to an low. Delacruz squeezed the river card, but it was the 7
giving him two pair, and Ware scooped the pot.
Tom Schneider, Tony Ma, and Scotty Nguyen are still going strong tonight, and it looks to be a long one as 16 players will need to be eliminated before play can be stopped, and in a split pot game that may take a while.
