Three-Way Flop Gives a Spot of Action

The final table finally took a flop that wasn't heads up. Sean Keeton was the preflop aggressor, making it 11,000 to go. He was called by Cort Kibler-Melby and Ben Delaney. The {8-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} flop looked pretty dry, so imagine our surprise when Keeton led out for 22,000 and was raised by Kiblery-Melby to 50,000. That was the end of the hand; Delaney and Keeton both quickly folded.

Delaney Takes Another Small Pot

Ben Delaney got things started with a raise to 9,000 preflop. He was called by Sean Keeton. Delaney came out firing for 14,000 on a board of {7-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts}. Keeton quickly folded.

The players all seem a bit lethargic. Most are slumped back in their chairs, absent-mindedly staring at the felt, or at the drink servers, or even at the ceiling. The edge is definitely lacking so far at this final table.

What Passes for Action

Liv Boeree, the shortest stack at the table, opened from early position to 11,000. Everyone passed to Edison Nguyen on the button, who made the call. The flop came {9-Hearts} {4-Spades} {6-Clubs} and Boeree followed up her preflop raise with a flop bet of 14,000. Nguyen made the call. Boeree seemed to lose heart on the {8-Clubs} turn, checking it over to Nguyen. He bet 25,000 chips and took down the pot when Boeree silently mucked.

That About Sums It Up

Eric Assadourian has been watching the final table from the rail. Like the rest of us, he's a bit disappointed with the lack of action.

"Play a hand, you tightasses!" Assadourian encouraged the table. His comment drew smiles and a few chuckles from the table, but nobody has yet heeded his advice.

Raise It and Take It

We're through two full rotations now and still have seen only one flop. With the blind levels having been rewound to 2,000 and 4,000, one would think the players would be more willing to take flops given the relative depth of their stacks. So far, that's not the case.

First Flop!

Ben Delaney has claimed the first hand to see a flop. He opened for 9,000 from the cutoff and was called by Sean Keeton. Keeton checked the {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} flop to Delaney, who bet 14,000. That was enough to produce a fold and a winner.

Caution Rules the Day

Maybe the long layoff and the large number of spectators on the rail have dulled the appetite of the final eight players for poker. We haven't had a flop yet. We did have two instances where Saidal Wardak opened for 11,000 and was reraised by Ben Delaney to 31,000. The first time, Wardak used one of his "time breaker" buttons but ultimately folded his hand. The second time, Wardak came over the top all in to fold Delaney.

Set the Table

After an epic three-way match on Table 26, the final table is set. At 9pm local time, in about thirty minutes, the players will return to play for the gold ring. Their seat assignments and chip counts are as follows:

Seat 1: Edison Nguyen (429,600)
Seat 2: Sean Keeton (170,200)
Seat 3: Neil Channing (346,900)
Seat 4: Cort Kibler-Melby (292,800)
Seat 5: Liv Boeree (122,000)
Seat 6: Saidal Wardak (211,600)
Seat 7: Ben Delaney (285,000)
Seat 8: Jai Kemp (337,000)

To start the final table, the blinds will be reset to the 2000 / 4000 / 300 level. As a bit of a sweetener for the pot, three of the remaining players -- Neil Channing, Ben Delaney and Liv Boeree -- have AU$1,000 bounties on their heads. It should make for a great final table.

See you back here in thirty minutes. We need some food!
