Official Chip Counts

Here are the official chip counts for heads-up play:

Cory Carroll - 2,167,000
Justin Pechie - 1,193,000

Curiously enough, the value of chips currently in play is exactly the same as it was at the start of the tournament (336 players x 10,000 in chips = 3.36 million). This is a pretty rare occurrence, as it means there were clean color-ups of the green 25 chips and the grey 100 chips.

Hand #100: Eric Davis Eliminated in 3rd Place ($130,368)

Eric Davis - 3rd Place
Eric Davis - 3rd Place
Hand #100 - Justin Pechie has the button in seat 3, Carroll limps for 16,000 from the small blind, and Davis checks his option. The flop comes {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Carroll checks, Davis bets 65,000, Carroll moves all in, and Davis immediately calls with {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker. Carroll shows {A-Spades}{2-Spades} for a spade flush draw.

The turn card is -- the {7-Spades}, giving Carroll his flush and leaving Davis drawing dead. (The meaningless river card is the {3-Diamonds}.)

Eric Davis is eliminated in third place, earning $130,368.

Davis Orders Cocktails

Eric Davis just ordered "a double Jack and Coke" from the cocktail waitress. Let's hope the free flowing booze at the final table will liven things up. So far, the action has been slow and a tad on the unexciting side.

Hands #98-99

Hand #98 - Cory Carroll has the button in seat 4, he raises to 51,000, Davis calls from the small blind, and Pechie calls from the big blind. The flop comes {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, it's checked to Carroll who bets 76,000, Davis folds, and Pechie folds. Carroll takes the pot.

Hand #99 - Eric Davis has the button in seat 5, unknown action. (No flop.)

Hand #96

Hand #96 - Eric Davis has the button in seat 5, Pechie limps from the small blind for 16,000, and Carroll checks his option. The flop comes {J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and both players check. The turn card is the {5-Spades}, Pechie checks, Carroll bets 16,000, and Pechie calls. The river card is the {Q-Diamonds}, Pechie checks, Carroll bets 60,000, and Pechie thinks for a minute before he folds. Carroll takes the pot.

Hands #93-95

Hand #93 - There is a dead button in seat 2, Davis limps for 16,000, Pechie limps, and Carroll checks. The flop comes {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}, it's checked to Davis who bets 45,000, Pechie calls, and Carroll folds. The turn card is the {7-Clubs}, Pechie checks, Davis bets 187,000, and Pechie folds. Davis takes the pot.

Vasile Buboi - 4th Place
Vasile Buboi - 4th Place
Hand #92 - Eric Davis has the button in seat 5, Carroll raises to 51,000, and Buboi calls from the small blind. The flop comes {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, and both players check. The turn card is the {6-Clubs}, Buboi moves all in, and Carroll immediately calls with {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the nine-high straight. Buboi shows {10-Spades}{9-Spades}, and he needs an eight on the river to win the pot. But the last card is the {6-Clubs}, and Vasile Buboi is eliminated in 4th place, earning $114,072.
