Ferit Gabriellson Eliminated in 5th ($148,439)

Ferit Gabriellson raised to 280,000 on the button and Matt Graham called in the small blind. Graham led out for 250,000 on a flop of AK5. Gabriellson moved all-in for a bit more and Graham made the call. Graham exposed the JJ103 and was behind against the KJ98 of Gabriellson. The turn was almost the perfect card in the deck for Graham as the J hit. The 8 fell on the river and the case jack on the turn gave Graham the pot and eliminated Gabriellson in 5th. Graham now has 2,220,000 in chips.

Robin Keston Eliminated 12th ($159,691)

Apr 16, '08

Robin Keston raises almost all in preflop, and Isaac Baron pushed all in over the top, having Keston covered. Keston calls and shows pocket sixes, and he finds that he is dominated by Baron's pocket jacks. The board runns out A K 8 7 J, giving Baron an unneeded set of jacks to eliminate Keston in 12th place ($159,691).

Hour One Update

Jun 06, '07

Shuffle Up and Deal:
Cards are finally in the air for event 7. 

Not Wasting Any Time:
The blinds started at $15,000-$30,000 and on the first hand of the final table there was major action.  Robin Keston and Sirous Jamshidi limped and John Juanda checked his big blind.  The flop came QQ8, and Juanda lead for $60,000.  Keston made the call and the turn was the 10.  Juanda moved all in and Keston went into the tank.  He called the clock on himself, and finally made the call with KK66.  Juanda tabled Q763 and the river came 5.  Juanda's hand held up and he doubled at the expense of Keston.

Robin Keston Eliminated 9th ($60,711)
With Keston losing most of his chip stack on the first hand, he wasted no time in getting all in on the second one.   Minh Ly raised to $50,000 and Keston moved all in for $115,000.  Sirous Jamshidi raised to $300,000 and Ly made the call, committing his last $240,000.  Ly tabled AA77, Jamshidi AAJ2 and Keston KK86.  The board came 109236, Ly and Jamshidi split the pot, eliminating Keston in 9th place for $60,711.

Pace Yourself...
After a quick start of two all ins in the first two hands play has already slowed down.  Players have tightned up, and there has been much more limping then raising preflop.  Humberto Brenes' sharks are still caged on his drink table, and the only hand he played was out of the small blind.

Break
The end of the level has been reached and the players are on a 5 min break.
