Heading to DinnerJul 13, '07 Pros Get Excited TooMany complain about the overexcited celebrations that occur when players win single hands. At what point, if ever are these celebrations appropriate. We now can't fault only amateurs for this type of celebration. Mark Weitzman raised to $42,000 from middle position, and David Levi reraised all in for $74,000 more. Weitzman made the call and Levi showed 9 9 to his A K. The flop came A J 2, and Levi was in trouble. The door opened a little when the J hit on the turn, giving Levi a flush draw. The 9 hit on the river and Levi exploded with a triumphant "YES!" Levi celebrated with his supporters on the rail as he narrowly avoided elimination. Binger Busted Nick Binger was caught making a move when his all in preflop reraise with 10 9 was called by Kevin Farry holding A 7. The board ran out 8 8 2 2 3, and the Binger clan will have to be satisfied this year with a 165th-place finish. Pairs Over Pairs Brett Rimes got his hand caught in the cookie jar, and it cost him his tournament life. After Reagan Silber raised preflop, Rimes pushed all in, eliciting a quick call from Silber. Reacting to the quickness of call, Rimes had a few choice words, also adding, "I thought you were on the squeeze" It turned out the hands were closer than he thought as Silber had Rimes out-matched 9 9 to 8 8. The board ran out Q 4 3 5 4, and Rimes headed for the door. Ryan Elson scored a huge pot off of Justin Rollo, courtesy of some heavy preflop betting. Elson had his $100,000 bet, raised all in by Rollo, and Elson called off his remaining $358,000 in great shape as he showed Q Q, to Rollo's J J. The board ran out 877 37, and Elson stacked his new chips, while Rollo was left with only about $60,000. Two Women Alive Kelly Jo McGlothin and Maria Ho are the sole remaining women in the 153 remaining players that just went on dinner break. Ho managed to win a race to double up in the last level. She was all in with A J against PokerStars qualifier Jason Welch's 10 10 on a flop of A 8 5. The turn and river were the K and the 6, and Ho raked the pot. Bad News To Many It what could be termed the last thing many of the other players would want to hear at this stage of the tournament, Huck Seed managed to double up to over a million chips just before the dinner break. Huck managed to squeak his way out of the usually deadly situation of holding top pair against a set, when he found running cards to make a straight to crack his opponent's set. The dinner break will be over and play will resume at 8:45. The players will then play for three more hours (1 and 1/2 levels of play) or until 99 players remain in the tournament. Player Tags: David Levi, Huck Seed, Reagan Silber, Mark Weitzman, Maria Ho, Kelly McGlothlin, Nick Binger, Justin Rollo, Ryan Elson Day Five EndsJul 14, '07 Hevad "Rain" Khan Does A Little Dance"Rain" Khan and Avi Cohen get it all in preflop. Cohen has A-8 but Khan has him dominated with A-K. Cohen gets no help on the board and he finishes in 43rd place. After the hand, Khan puts on a show for ESPN. Khan shouts at the top of his lungs once the pot starts moving in his direction and then yells, "I'm good at basketball!" Once the cameras pick up on this, Khan begins to dance around the room pretending to dribble a basketball while maintaining a constant barrage of yelps and shouts. Some of the rail loves it, and some of the rail does not. Regardless, ESPN has officially found its bad guy for the broadcast. The question remains whether or not Khan can live up to his counterparts in Josh Arieh, Shawn Sheikhan and Eric Molina. The 20-minute Hand: Bill Edler vs. Jeff Banghart Bill Edler raises to $150,000 and Jeff "Mr. Rain" Banghart makes the call, along with the big blind. The flop comes K Q 8 and Banghart bets $300,000. The big blind folds and Edler thinks for awhile before making it $650,000 to go. Now Banghart goes into the tank, coming up after a few minutes to call. The turn is the 6 and Edler contemplates his next move for a few minutes between sips of coffee before betting out $600,000. Banghart now stands up and thinks out loud for awhile. Banghart announces that Edler must have a hand like A J. He then asks Edler if he feels like gambling. Throughout the questioning, Edler doesn't flinch. "I don't think I can fold," says Banghart, as he decides to push all in for $1,180,000 more. Edler asks for a count and then takes about eight minutes to count out his stack and make a decision. Edler would be left with about $2,100,000 if he folded. After finally making up his mind, Edler says, "Well it couldn't go to a nicer guy," and makes the call. Edler turns over 6 5 for bottom pair and a flush draw. Banghart is in the lead with K J. The rail is very vocal about how surprising it is that these two don't have bigger hands. The river brings the J giving Banghart two pair he didn't want and Edler his flush. Edler and Banghart shake hands congratulating each other graciously before Edler goes to work on stacking his massive pot. Banghart is our 41st-place finisher. Rep Porter Eliminated
On a board of 7 6 3 2 Scotty Nguyen bet $500,000 and Ray Henson made the call. The turn brought the 7 and Nguyen fired out $800,000. Henson took a moment and then called after he and Nguyen traded a flurry of statements punctuated by “…Baby!” Nguyen flashed A-8 as he said, “I missed my flush.” Henson turned over 6 5 and took down the pot. Ayaz Mahmood was eliminated a few hands after the players went on a 20 minute break, and play ended on day five. The players are bagging up their chips right now and will return at noon tomorrow to play down from 36 players to a final table of nine players.

Player Tags: Ayaz Mahmood, Scotty Nguyen, Jeff Banghart, Bill Edler, Maria Ho, Hevad Khan, Mikkel Madsen, Ryan Elson, Avi Cohen Hour One RecapJul 15, '07 The first hour of play on day six is over and already the field has narrowed to 31 players. ESPN film crews are swarming the tournament area in an effort to catch every piece of action and the shuffling of personnel has given the tournament area the feel of a madhouse. A player can't so much as raise the blinds without a camera directly in his face watching every moment.Tran Donates a Little David Tran came into day six as the official chip leader by only $30,000 but has taken a few hits in the first hour and has slipped down the leaderboard. Tran got involved in a pot with Jeff Bryan and both players saw a flop of A Q 4. Tran led out with a bet of $285,000 and Bryan called. The turn was the 6 and this time Tran turned up the heat with a $625,000 bet. Bryan thought for a moment and declared that he was all in for $1,215,000 more. Tran eyed his opponent and mucked his hand. Bryan picked up almost a $1,000,000 in chips without ever having to show his hand. Movin' On Up Shortly before being moved to the ESPN featured table, Daniel Alaei raised to $165,000 under the gun. David Tran, Philip Hilm and Jeff Bryan all made the call. "This would be a good time to get aces" joked Ryan Elson who was in the big blind. Elson looked at his cards and said "I raise." Elson counted out the $165,000 he owed and then said "I'm all in." The raise was for $1,540,000. Alaei folded, as did Tran. Hilm called from the four seat and Bryan got out of the way. Elson turned over 10 10 and Hilm was holding 6 6. The flop came 8 5 4 and Elson stood out of his seat and started yelling to his fans on the rail. The turn was the 9 and Elson started yelling for paint on the river. The river brought the Q and Elson doubled to over $3,000,000. While Elson stacked his newly acquired chips, he was so happy after doubling up that he folded his small blind without ever looking at his cards. Freeman Takes a Hit Scott "SCTrojans" Freeman took a $3,000,000 hit in the first hour courtesy of Raymone Rahme. Freeman and Rahme were all in before the flop with Freeman showing pocket kings and Rahme holding pocket aces. The board bricked out for both players and Rahme's aces held up, giving him the almost $6,000,000 pot. Kevin Kim Eliminated in 32nd Place ($285,678) Paulo Loureiro raised to $200,000 from the button and Kevin Kim reraises all in from the small blind for $380,000 more. Louriero thought for a moment and called. Kim showed A K and Loureiro was holding A 9. The flop came J 9 8 and Louriero jumped into the lead. The turn was the Q and Kim picked up a few more outs. Any spade, ten or king would give Kim the pot and keep him alive. The river proved unkind for Kim when it brought the 6. Louriero took down the pot and Kim was eliminated in 32nd place. Recent Eliminations 36th Place - Robin Bergren ($285,678) 35th Place - Allan King ($285,678) 34th Place - Hoa Nguyen ($285,678) 33rd Place - Christian Togsverd ($285,678) 32nd Place - Kevin Kim ($285,678) Notables
