With the pressure back on Miles, he goes into the tank for a few minutes. After a minute more of deliberation, Miles moves all in and Wilson beats him into the pot.
Miles shows and Wilson shows . The dealer burns and reveals the for the river card, giving Wilson a straight and the winning hand.
The pot was over 65,000 in chips and Wilson is now sitting with a big stack.
At the dinner break, Sartori had less than 7,000 in chips. Things weren't looking good, and just after dinner, he lost the first pot he played to drop to a dangerously low 3,000. However, in the last few minutes, Sartori has come charging back and is now the owner of a healthy stack of chips -- 28,000 worth of them, in fact -- at the expense of his fellow tablemates.
The turn and river come and respectively, and the all-in player is eliminated. Tom Sartori continues to increase his stack, and is now up around 23,000.
After the dinner break, the AV crew here at Harrah's changed the channels on the two largest television monitors in the room, removing the tournament clock's feed and replacing it with the game.
Psh...Who cares about a $5,000 buy-in poker tournament when Game 7 is on?!
