Rep Porter Eliminated in 7th Place ($25,313)

Rep Porter - 7th Place
Rep Porter - 7th Place
Rep Porter raised from under the gun, and the table folded back around to Demetrios Arvanetes who called from the big blind. The flop came {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Arvanetes bet, Porter raised, and Arvanetes called. The turn was the {4-Spades}. Arvanetes checked, Porter bet, Arvanetes check-raised, and Porter thought a bit before putting in almost the last of his chips. They got the last few in on the {7-Hearts} river.

Arvanetes showed {J-Spades}{10-Spades} for the flush, and Porter mucked, out in 7th place. Arvanetes moves up to about 375,000 on that one.

On the very next hand after Cole Miller's elimination, Glenn Engelbert raised from UTG, Kim-Phong Duong called all in for his remaining 22,000 and Jason Tam called as well from the small blind. Tam and Engelbert checked down the {6-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {10-Hearts} board.

Engelbert showed {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}, Tam flipped up {9-Hearts} {7-Clubs} and Duong showed{A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}. Engelbert's A-K unimproved was good enough to scoop the entire pot and send Duong to the rail in 8th place.

With the action folded to him in the small blind, Cole Miller raised and Al Barbieri made the call from the big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {3-Clubs} and Miller led out. Before his chips could even hit the table, Barbieri put in a raise. With only 32,000 behind, Miller had a decision for all his chips and after a few minutes in the tank, he made it three bets to go. Barbieri set him all in for his last 2,000 and Miller called.

Miller {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}
Barbieri {5-Hearts} {8-Clubs}

The turn was the {10-Clubs} , the river was the {Q-Spades} and Miller's tournament was at an end.

With that hand, Barbieri's stack was up to 1.1 million and he's approaching runaway chip leader status.

"Nice Flop"

Jason Tam raised from under the gun, and it folded back around to chip leader Al Barbieri who called in the big blind.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. Barbieri checked, Tam bet, Barbieri raised, and Tam called. The turn was the {Q-Spades}, and this time Barbieri led out with a bet. Tam called.

The river was the {Q-Hearts}. Barbieri bet again, and Tam called once more. Barbieri turned over {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for the straight, and Tam tabled his {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

"Nice flop," said Tam good-naturedly. He's at 340,000 now, while Barbieri is up over the 800,000-chip mark.

Jason Tam raised from early position and Dominik Kulicki called from the big blind.

Kulicki checked the {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} {5-Clubs} flop over to Tam, who bet. Kulicki called and they went to the turn, the {9-Hearts}, where he check-called another bet from Tam. The river was the {Q-Clubs} and both players checked.

Tam revealed {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts} in the hole and Kulicki mucked, his stack down to 168,000 while Tam's swelled to 500,000.

Pomp & Poker

Action has stopped at our final table as all nine players are standing and watching the presentation of bracelets to yesterday's winners -- Panayote "Pete" Vilandos, winner of Event No. 24 ($1,500 No-Limit Hold'em), and Phil Ivey, winner of Event No. 25 ($2,500 Omaha/Seven-Card Stud Hi/Lo) -- and the playing of the national anthems of Greece (for Vilandos) and the United States (for Ivey).

The stage for the bracelet ceremony is located just a few feet from where our final table is being played. Each of the nine players remaining hopes he will be the one on that stage tomorrow afternoon.

After Break, Kulicki Catches a Break

Shamus
Shamus
After that break to fill out the bios, the table's short stack, Dominik Kulicki got a much-appreciated walk in his big blind.

Then on the next hand, Demetrios Arvanetes raised from middle position, Kulicki reraised from the SB, Arvanetes four-bet, and Kulicki called with his last chips.

Kulicki turned over {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, and Arvanetes {A-Spades}{K-Spades}. The first card to appear on the flop was a queen -- {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts} -- and Kulicki was suddenly ahead. The turn was the {7-Clubs} and the river the {3-Clubs}, and Kulicki doubles back up to 190,000. Arvanetes has 295,000.

The Final Table Awaits

Shamus

"Guys, guys... slide over," said Al "Sugar Bear" Barbieri from Seat 8 with a smile. He's got reason to be smiling -- he's leading the final table. With Richard Brodie's elimination, there's a little more elbow room around the table. Responding to Barbieri's request, the other players duly shuffled their seats to the right.

The remaining nine players are taking a few minutes to fill out bio sheets for WSOP officials. It appears we will be playing this one out here in the Green section of the Amazon Room -- i.e., not on one of the feature tables.

With the stakes where they are, we may be losing a few more here before too long, creating even more elbow room.

Back in action in a moment.

Richard Brodie Eliminated in 10th Place ($13,543)

Jason Tam raised from middle position and Richard Brodie flat-called from the button.

The flop came down {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts} {2-Spades}. Tam checked, Brodie bet and Tam called. The turn was the {Q-Clubs} and this time Tam bet out. Brodie raised all in and Tam made the call.

Brodie {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades}
Tam {K-Spades} {10-Spades}

Brodie had two pair, queens and jacks but Tam had both straight and flush draws. He got there on the river, making a king-high flush when the {3-Spades} hit, sending Brodie to the rail in 10th place.
