Five more hands

With 10 minutes left on the clock, a card has been draw.  The field will play five more hands before bagging up for the night.  If the bubble has not burst, the field will still bag up for the night.

Play is now hand for hand

Event #4 is now hand for hand.  When one more player is eliminated, the remaining 15 will be in the money.

Mark Dube has been moved to the featured table to balance tables.  You can watch the last few minutes of play live at www.FoxwoodsLive.com.

Nick Palma has been eliminated

Nick Palma moved all in over the top of another player's open.  Nick's opponent made the call holding pocket tens, and Nick would be racing for his tournament life holding ace jack.  The board brought no help, and Nick will be eliminated in 18th place, just shy of the money.

Final 18 reached

With the elimination of the 19th place finisher, the final 18 are redrawing for seats at the final two tables.  There are still 13 minutes and 40 seconds left in 1,500/3,000 with a 400 ante, then there will be a break and one more level before finishing for the night.

1st Place: Rory Anderson ($46,568)

After being down to 600,000 heads up against his opponent's 7.6 million, Rory Anderson mounted an amazing comeback to win Event #1 $600 NLH.  On the final hand, Rory's [Ah][Td] bested Peter Wagner's [Kc][8c] after a preflop all in.  The [6d][4d][3s][9d][7d] kept Rory's ace high in front to collect the last of his opponent's chips.

Rory will collect $46,568 for his 1st place finish along with the World Poker Finals trophy and title,  Rory explained he doesn't play tournaments often, and winning the title after having such a huge chip deficit makes the win even sweeter.  In Rory's winner photo, he proudly displayed his ALS Challenge T-Shirt as his friend popularized the viral sensation.  He will certainly go enjoy the cigar he's been chomping on for most of this final table, and his earlier statement that he is the best player in the room can currently go unchallenged.  Congratulations, Rory.

2nd Place: Peter Wagner ($28,903)

Rory Anderson doubles through Peter Wagner again

On a [Tc][4h][9c] flop, Rory Anderson was all in with [Kc][Qc] and was up against the [9s][7h] of Peter Wagner.  Peter had the best hand with a pair of nines, but Rory was a 61% favorite with his flush draw, gutshot, and two overs.  The [Jd] turn gave Rory the straight, leaving Peter drawing dead, and the [5c] river unnecessarily improved him to a flush.

Rory has now built his stack back up to 3.5 million while Peter has 4.7 million.

Rory Anderson doubles through Peter Wagner

Peter Wagner opened the button before Rory Anderson moved all in.  After some thought, Peter called with [Jh][8s] and was crushed by Rory's [Js][Jc].  The [5s][Td][2c] flop was no help, but the [9h] did give Peter an open ended straight draw.  The [6h] hit the river to give Rory the double up.  He still has some work to do, though, as he is still largely outchipped.

Peter Wagner doubles through Rory Anderson and takes a commanding lead

On a [7c][3s][Ad][3h][Ah] board, Rory Anderson moved all in, having Peter Wagner covered.  Peter snap called and revealed [As][7d] for the second nuts.  Rory mucked, and Peter has taken a commanding lead in this heads up match with almost 7.5 million to Rory's 600,000.

Event #3 $300 Omaha 8+ Final Table Reached

Seat 8: Dominiek Cuzzi - 36,000
Seat 9: Bradley Manter - 162,000
Seat 10: Jeffrey Stevens - 126,000

Heads up chip counts

Rory Anderson - 4,550,000

Peter Wagner - 3,805,000

3rd Place: Mark Bramley ($19,341)

After Peter Wagner opened the button, Mark Bramley reraised from the small blind and Peter made the call.  The flop fell [4h][Kh][4c] and Mark moved all in and was snap called by Peter.

Mark [As][2c]
Peter [Kd][Qc]

Mark was in trouble and found no help on the [Jc] turn or the [5s] river.  Mark will exit this tournament in 3rd place, good for $19,341.

4th Place: Victor Usati ($15,150)

Victor Usati was all in preflop holding [5d][5c] against Peter Wagner's [As][Qd].  The [Js][3h][Ac] flop paired Peter's cards, and Victor would need a five to survive.  The [3s] turn and [Jc] river failed to deliver, and Victor will exit this tournament in 4th place.  He will collect $15,150 for his efforts.

5th Place: Kyle Anderson ($11,282)

Kyle Anderson moved all in from the small blind holding [5h][4s] and was called by Rory Anderson in the big blind holding [Ah][Qc].  It was a battle of the Andersons, with Kyle needing to improve to survive.  The [Qd][Jd][Kd] flop meant Kyle was now drawing to runner runner.  The [Ac] turn did open up some chop outs for Kyle, but the [8s] hit the river to eliminate him in 5th place.  Kyle will earn $11,282 for his efforts.

Rory Anderson dodges Royal Flush and doubles up

On a [Qs][Tc][2d], Rory Anderson was all in holding [Ks][Kd] and was up against the [Kc][Qc] of Mark Bramley.  Rory merely had to dodge a queen to survive, but the [Jc] gave Mark a flush draw, not to mention a Royal Flush draw.  The [7s] hit the river to give Rory the double up, and he now sits on approximately 700,000.

6th Place: Bruce Secor ($9,133)

Bruce Secor (bottom left) watches as his kings get cracked by Victor Usati (standing, center)

From under the gun, Victor Usati moved all in and Bruce Secor made the call from the small blind.  It was a cooler as Victor's [Qs][Qc] ran into Bruce's [Kd][Kc].  The [9s][Qd][As] flop once again delivered a flopped set to the smaller pocket pair.  The [2d] hit the turn and Rory Anderson admitted he folded deuces.  The [5s] hit the river to send Bruce to the rail in 6th place, good for $9,133.

7th Place: Vito Masi ($7,306)

Vito Masi had dwindled down to less than one big blind, and he was all in before the deal from the big blind position.  Two other players saw the [6d][2d][Qh] flop, but a single bet was enough to fold out the other live player.  Vito's opponent tabled [Ah][5h] for just ace high, but Vito could only find [Ts][7d] as he saw his hand for the first time.  The [8c] turn gave Vito a gutshot straight draw to go along with his live cards, but the [8h] river meant Vito will exit the tournament in 7th place.  He will earn $7,306 for his efforts.

8th Place: Ray Hicks ($5,695) & 9th Place: Keith Romanovitz ($4,427)

It was a three way all in, and all three players had huge hands:

Ray Hicks [As][Ac]
Keith Romanovitz [Ks][Kd]
Mark Bramley [Jh][Jc]

Mark had both players covered, so if the aces held up Ray would triple up and Keith would be eliminated.  The flop fell [8s][Js][2c], however, putting Peter in the lead with top set.  The [9c] turn and [8c] river changed nothing, and Peter will earn a double knock-out.

The stacks were counted down, and it was discovered Ray had the bigger stack of the two, so he will earn $5,695 for his 8th place finish.  Meanwhile, Keith will earn $4,427 for his 9th place finish.

10th Place: Giuseppe Ruvolo ($3,330)

From the button, Giuseppe Ruvolo moved all in before Mark Bramley moved all in over the top from the button.  The blinds released, and the hands were revealed

Giuseppe [As][7c]
Mark [Qh][Qc]

The [Td][3d][9d] flop was no help, but the [8s] turn gave Giuseppe 11 outs to survive.  The [7h] was not one of them, and Giuseppe put on his jacket and headed for the payout desk.  He will collect $3,330 for his efforts.

Five more hands

With 10 minutes left on the clock, it has been announced that the field will play five more hands before completing play for the night.  Players that survive will return at 12pm.  Currently there are 57 players remaining including David Stefanski, Tom Dobrilovic, and Nick Palma.

Last break of the night

The 65 remaining players are on their last break of the night.  The tournament staff are coloring up and racing off the 100 chips during this break.  When the players return, they will play one more level before bagging up their chips for the night.  Day 2 will resume at 12pm and will play down until an eventual winner.

James Woods has been eliminated

At 800/1,600 blinds, James Woods moved all in from middle position for his last 11,700.  The button reraised to 25,000 and the blinds got out of the way.  James was behind with king ten against the button's ace jack.  The [2h][6d][7s][5d][Qh] board was no help to James, and he will be eliminated.

James Woods knocks one out

A player was all in and at risk holding [As][Kd] against James Woods's [9s][9c].  Before the flop came out, a cocktail waitress asked James if he wanted a drink, to which he replied, "I may, hold on."  The [4h][4c][Qc] flop was good for James, as was the [8s] turn.  When the [3h] hit the river, James told his opponent good game and promptly ordered a beverage.  James now sits on approximately 34,000.

Cards back in the air

The 157 remaining players are back from dinner break, and cards are back in the air.  We are now streaming a featured table at www.FoxwoodsLive.com with Dave Stefanski in the 3 seat and actor James Woods in the 5 seat.
