Full double up for Bergeron how is now up to 750,00 chips. Phillips slipped to 3,700,000.
The action had gotten pretty lethargic here at our final table, but Samuel Gerber and Craig Bergeron just played a huge pot that had many in the gallery arching their eyebrows in shock and surprise.
Samuel Gerber and Craig Bergeron took a raised flop of 
. Gerber led for 110,000 and Bergeron called behind him. The turn 
paired the board but didn't slow Gerber down. He fired again, making the price of poker 200,000. Bergeron called a second time.
The river came down . Gerber paused slightly before moving all in for 907,000 total. Bergeron thought things through and then called, creating a pot worth approximately 2.6 million chips. Gerber tabled 
for trip nines, a hand that caused Bergeron to slam the table in frustration. He opened 
and then paid Gerber off.
When the stacks were adjusted, Gerber had climbed to 2.6 million in chips, while Bergeron settled into fourth chip position with just 365,000.

Even though we moved to the final table area in the Amazon Room (formerly the Milwaukee's Best Lounge, now plastered with ads for Jack Link's Beef Jerky), the size of the rail hasn't increased notably. There are roughly twenty people watching this final table with varying levels of interest.
After Carter Phillips raised pre-flop, action passed to Craig Bergeron in the blinds. Bergeron three-bet, with Phillips thinking things over and then calling. That was enough to shut Bergeron down. He checked a flop of 
, then folded to a bet of 190,000 from Phillips.
Hugo Perez opened pre-flop and was called by Samuel Gerber out of the small blind. Action checked all the way to the river, 
. Hugo made a bet on the river that Gerber check-called. Gerber couldn't top Perez' 
, a nine-high straight.
Flops are starting to dwindle in numbers and we've had a couple of walks in the last ten minutes, almost (it seems) for the first time all tournament. With big money on the line and the stacks of three of our competitors quite deep, we might be witnessing a slow down as those three wait for the super-short stack, Hugo Perez, to bust.
Craig Bergeron opened the first pot after the break with a 69,000-chip raise from the cutoff seat and got called by Hugo Perez on the button and Samuel Gerber in the big blind.
Flop: 
Bergeron took the pot with a 128,000-chip bet.
