Kim is gone. :cry:


Kim did well to last this long but he played way too tight when we see the video im sure there will be spots where he could of moved in.

For each hand you play online (mainly cash games), the casino will take a certain amount of 'rake' from the hand. If your account is registered with a rakeback provider then you will get a certain amount of it back, and if you play quite intensively it can turn into a nice little amount.

Phillips goes all in (AQo), called by Schwartz (QQ).

Ace on the flop. Sick. He now sits back at 20.6 million. What a remarkable comeback.

Can you imagine if that was Phil Hellmuth on the end of that beat?

Right now he'd probably be accusing Phillips of not being able to spell 'Poker'.

Oh man... Chino's gone. His AK went down to Eastgate's AQ.

Final Table Summary so far...

With the elimination of Dennis Phillips in 3rd place, we have reached another suspension in play -- the last of the 2008 World Series of Poker. Phillips got a standing ovation from the 300-strong army of identically clad supporters, but he will not be coming back tomorrow to play for the bracelet. That honor belongs to two men: the Russian Ivan Demidov, and the Dane Peter Eastgate. If Eastgate wins, he will break Phil Hellmuth's record as the youngest Main Event winner ever.

The action started slowly today. Everyone had predicted that short-stacked Kelly Kim would be the first player out, some time during the first orbit of play. Instead he held on long enough to see Craig Marquis eliminated in 9th place, and in brutal fashion, when his pocket sevens fell to Montgomery's ace-queen on a 10-A-7-J-K board.

Kim went out on the very next hand, as he was practically all in for the 400,000-chip big blind before the cards were even dealt.

The 7th place finisher was David "Chino" Rheem, who never seemed to get much going at today's final table. He got his chips in good with ace-king against Eastgate's ace-queen, but was unable to overcome a queen on the flop.

Darus Suharto was another player who got all of his money in preflop with an ace, but in his case he was the dominated player, tabling ace-eight against Montgomery's ace-queen. Montgomery wound up making the nut flush by the turn to send Suharto to the rail in 6th place.

The most brutal elimination of all was that of Montgomery hiimself in 5th place. His ace-three was taken out by Eastgate's pocket sixes on a board of A-Q-4-A-6, with Phillips telling the table prior to the river that he had folded a six.

Eastgate was also responsible for eliminating Ylon Schwartz in 4th place by making fives full of kings on the river against Schwartz's unimproved ace-ten. Schwartz tried to bluff-raise Eastgate off of his hand on the river, but Eastgate correctly made the call.

The final elimination, of course, was Dennis Phillips in third place. His bluff-raise on the flop was picked off by Eastgate, who had flopped bottom set. Phillips was unable to improve from there.

The unofficial day-end chip counts are:

Ivan Demidov - 79,500,000
Peter Eastgate - 57,725,000

Eastgate should have the button when we re-convene at 10pm local time tomorrow for Hand #170 of the final table.


That Montgomery elimination :shock:

'Mon the Demidov. Hellmuth's record shall not be broken!

I find it strange that Schwartz stuck his tournament life on the line on a bluff with ace-ten. Not that I can play better than him or anything, obviously, but it seems a strange play, and certainly not one I'd be making.

Two worthy finalists. I backed Eastgate to win, and I think he'll overcome the deficit and win this one, taking Hellmuths record!
