That's A Wrap; Booth The Man To Catch

Carl "The Hood" Booth
Carl "The Hood" Booth
With some stunning bad beats and enormous swings throughout the evening, our 132 players have now been reduced to our final table of nine.

They will be led by Carl Booth, nicknamed "The Hood" by our loyal shoutbox railbirds who survived the fifteen hours of play today to see their man accumulate a massive stack. At one stage Booth was out to over 1.5 million, but he'll know he won't have it all his own way tomorrow as the likes of Joe Cabret and Herman Marchese chipped away to reduce Booth's lead late in the day.

Here's how they will lineup:

Seat 1: Lawrence Gibson (914,000)
Seat 2: Carl Booth (1,197,000)
Seat 3: Con Tsapkounis (882,000)
Seat 4: Michel Bouskila (285,000)
Seat 5: Joe Cabret (1,112,000)
Seat 6: Antonio Ascenzio (582,000)
Seat 7: Angelo Prifti (856,000)
Seat 8: Sam Khouiss (627,000)
Seat 9: Herman Marchese (1,177,000)

The action recommences at 2pm local time tomorrow as we play it out for the title of 2009 PokerNews Cup Champion and the $250,000 first place prize! So long from the Crown Poker Room and we look forward to your company tomorrow!
