Steve Begleiter Eliminated in 6th Place ($1,587,160)
Antoine Saout has the button. Steve Begleiter is the first to act. He once again opens to 1.6 million. Action passes to Darvin Moon in the big blind. He waves a hand over his chips and says, "All in." Begleiter calls in a shot and jumps out of his chair!
Moon:
Begleiter:
Begleiter is the player at risk of elimination with 23.25 million chips in the middle. Moon has ace-queen again. It worked for him against Phil Ivey. Can he find another three-outer against Begleiter?
"Let's see the flop," says TD Jack Effel.
It's a safe flop for Begleiter, . Begleiter has the only spade, so Moon is going to need to catch an ace or running straight cards for a chop. The turn is no help to anybody, . Moon is down to one last river card. He needs an ace or Begleiter will double.
Oh dear. That on the river is NOT a good card for Begleiter.
It is pandemonium -- again! -- in the Penn & Teller Theater. The ace on the river gives Moon the best hand, sending a stunned Begleiter crashing to the rail. Darvin Moon isn't moving, showing absolutely no reaction to the dramatic elimination of Begleiter.
Moon reclaims the chip lead with 63.9 million.
