Eric Davis Playing with Confidence

Eric Davis has his friends and family in the crowd. That's always helpful for any player who makes the final table. Ever since he doubled up against Steve Wong, he's been playing with extreme confidence. While the rest of his tablemates seem quiet and docile, Davis' confidence factor is rising higher and higher with every hand. If there's a player who has a shot at chipleader Cory Carroll, it appears that it will be Davis.

Hand #32 - Justin Pechie has the button in seat 3, he raises to 35,000, and Davis calls from the big blind. The flop comes {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, Davis moves all in, and Pechie thinks for a minute before folding. Davis takes the pot.

Hand #33 - Cory Carroll has the button in seat 4, Buboi limps under the gun for 12,000, Pechie limps from the cutoff, Davis limps from the small blind, and Kitsos checks his option. The flop comes {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{5-Hearts}, it's checked to Pechie who bets 30,000, Davis folds, Kitsos folds, and Buboi calls.

The turn card is the {2-Spades}, and both players check. The river card is the {K-Diamonds}, Buboi bets 50,000, and Pechie calls with {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Buboi shows {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and they chop the pot.

The Final 5

With The Dragon slayed, the best named pro has been eliminated from the tournament. The edge goes to the chipleader Cory Carroll. With five players left in the mix, the action should pick up as players with short stacks have to make moves. Carroll is actually a well-known internet player, playing under the name UGOTPZD. He is known typing his signature arrow ( <--------- ) in the chat box after winning pots online. Shane 'shaniac' Schleger called him "the best player you've never heard of." Gavin Smith is also a big fan of Carroll's game.

A win on the WSOP Circuit will definitely get Carroll the attention that he deserves.

6th Place - David "The Dragon" Pham
6th Place - David "The Dragon" Pham
Hand #29 - Eric Davis has the button in seat 5, Pechie raises to 35,000, Carroll calls from the cutoff, Pham calls all in for 35,000. The flop comes {J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Spades}, Pechie moves all in for 147,000, and Carroll thinks for a few minutes before folding.

Pechie shows {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}, and he's in the lead over Pham's {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Pham needs an ace or a deuce to stay alive, but the last two cards are {4-Hearts}{K-Hearts}, and Pechie wins the pot with a set of kings. David "The Dragon" Pham is eliminated in 6th place, earning $81,840.
