McGowan Dyed

Ahh ha ha
Ahh ha ha
Jonathan McGowan raised to 75,000 and big blind Michael Dyer gave him a spin.

Flop: {4-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} -- a slightly disappointing check-check.

Turn: {9-Clubs}

Dyer checked again, and this time McGowan bet 110,000. Dyer now raised to 275,000 and before the chips had even hit the felt, McGowan had passed.

Rho Wakes Up

Michael Dyer raised in early position and got looked up by Peter Rho in the big blind.

Flop: {4-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

Rho checked and Dyer bet 125,000 -- but Rho raised and Dyer quickly let it go.

TD: "Applause is encouraged."

Rail: a mere spattering of applause.

Hall of Lame

Scott Hall, our current shortie, tried moving all in, but a round of folds later and all he got for his trouble were the blinds and antes.

Level: 24

Blinds: 15,000/30,000

Ante: 4,000

Mike Carlson Eliminated in 10th Place ($41,640)

10th place
10th place
Mike Carlson raised, and and small blind Peter Rho was the only caller.

Rho checked the {4-Spades} {A-Spades} {J-Hearts} flop, only for Carlson to move all in for 742,000...

...and a call!

Carlson: {K-Spades} {8-Spades}
Rho: {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}

Wow.

Turn: {6-Diamonds} (the TD announced the {6-Spades}, but that was not the case)

River: {A-Diamonds}

Thus we lose our 10th place unofficial final tablist, and we proceed to play the official, nine-handed final table after a short break.

Action! McGowan Ends Up on Top

A flop! Blinds Jonathan McGowan and Anthony Harb limp/checked their way to it, and it was exactly {6-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {K-Spades}. McGowan bet out, and Harb called. A turn!

Turn: {7-Diamonds}

Now McGowan bet out 105,000, and again Harb called. Guess what's coming next...

River: {5-Clubs}

McGowan now took his time -- and after a while, announced all in for 445,000. It was Harb's turn to tank now... and after a short time he passed.

No Flops Yet, But Action Nonetheless

Michael Dyer raised, and it folded right around to Jonathan McGowan in the big blind, who pushed all in for another 420,000 -- his favorite move, from what we've seen of him today. Dyer gave it some thought -- but eventually folded, and McGowan took the tasty chips.

No Change Yet

The action so far has been rather cagey, as befits a fairly deep-stacked WSOP final table -- we haven't seen a flop so far, every preflop raise merely resulting in the raiser picking up the blinds and antes.

Don't forget, there's just a little difference between the $41,640 for 10th place and the whopping $569,199 for first...
