Short Break

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Now that we've reached the official final table, the remaining six players have been sent on a 25-minute break to allow the tournament staff the opportunity to ready bios, count the stacks, and do all that good stuff. Speaking of chip counts, we'll have the official numbers in just a couple of minutes.

Ben Tollerene Eliminated in 7th Place ($99,493)

Ben Tollerene raised to 90,000 under the gun and action folded all the way around to Chris Moorman in the big blind. The Brit thought for a few moments before sliding in a three-bet to 250,000, which prompted Tollerene to move all in for around 1.54 million. Moorman made the call and it was off to the races.

Moorman: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Tollerene: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Moorman's rail, which is quite large and vocal, were on their feet as Moorman looked to dodge Big Slick. The atmosphere was filled with anticipation as the dealer put out the flop . . . {8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.

No help for Tollerene. Moorman's crowd got even louder when the {2-Spades} hit the turn. Tollerene was left looking for either an ace, king, or four on the river to stay alive. Much to the delight of British crowd, who drowned out the announcer, the {3-Hearts} blanked on the river and Moorman took down the hand.

Tollerene was eliminated from the tournament in seventh place for $99,493.

Freerolllllllllllllllllllllllll

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Chris Moorman opened to 90,000 in the hijack seat, Ben Tollerene three-bet to 225,000 from the cutoff, and Mike Sowers moved all in for around 1.15 million from the small blind. Moorman released, and Tollerene called.

Sowers: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Tollerene: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Seeing another potential chop, the crowd began to shower the main stage with boos and hisses. When the dealer fanned {2-Clubs}{q-Spades}{7-Clubs} however, all of the people who are betting black shrieked with excitement.

Sowers and his supporters had reason to cheer on the turn as well, because the {6-Clubs} gave him a shot to scoop the pot. The {6-Hearts} on the river was a brick however, and the two chopped.
