Ronnie Kevin Eliminated in 8th Place ($79,017)

Ronnie Kevin - 8th Place
Ronnie Kevin - 8th Place
Andy 'BKiCe' Seth raised to 115,000 before Panayote 'Pete' Vilandos reraised to 300,000 and then Ronnie Kevin moved all in for 550,000. Seth folded but Vilandos called with {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} and was in great shape against {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}.

The board came {3-Spades} {7-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {3-Hearts} to seal the deal on our 8th place finisher.

Ooba Ooba Ooba

Andy Seth raised under the gun and Michael Greco called in the big blind; they saw a {9-Spades} {6-Hearts} {8-Spades} flop. Greco checked and then called 155,000 from Seth.

Turn: {8-Hearts}

Greco checked it again and this time Seth made it 285,000 to go. Greco moved all in for 740,000 total -- and a call!

Seth: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
Greco: {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}

River: {9-Clubs}

Jesper Hougaard at the rail led a chorus of a song that sounded like, "Ooba ooba ooba." He was escorted from the final table by security for disrupting proceedings. Oops. His horse Greco is up to around 2,000,000 now.

Greco Doubles Through

Dean Hamrick raised to 130,000 under the gun and Glenn McCaffrey called to his immediate left. One more seat along and Michael Greco shoved for 390,000 total. It folded back to Hamrick who laid it down, but McCaffrey called and they were racing.

McCaffrey: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}
Greco: {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

Board: {J-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {8-Hearts}

Greco's up to almost a million now, to the delight of his roommate and railer Jesper Hougaard.

Jaffray Vs. McCaffrey

Glenn McCaffrey raised to 90,000 and Alan Jaffray called.

Jaffray checked the {4-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {4-Hearts} flop, and McCaffrey took it down with a simple 125,000 bet.

We now have the traditional three minute ESPN break, when the camera guys do whatever it is they do.

Walkies

McCaffrey - lookin' intense

Glenn McCaffrey got himself the first walk of the day.

"Nice hand," called out one of his railers.

"I had ace king," complained McCaffrey from the table.

"Play tighter," advised his friend.
