Thanks for the update. Second place, not bad!

Ugh, devilfish was the last cut from my 35 person short list. Damnit!!!

Thanks for the update though, well done.

Man...I'm struggling in this pool.

It is amazing to see how some guys like Ivey can be so consistent in a game that is so unpredictable.

I think Brenes is one of the more under-rated players in poker right now. He has been playing some really great poker of late.

Sick hand:

Gabe Kaplan Eliminated in 9th Place ($131,424)

Gabe Kaplan was just eliminated in the final hand of the night. Kaplan was all in on 4th street and there was a side pot between Freddy Deeb and Thor Hansen. When all the cards were dealt, here's what the players showed:

Deeb: (6)-(6)-5-6-K-J-(6)
Hansen: (3)-(3)-3-J-Q-4-(4)
Kaplan: (X)-(X)-J-7-T-Q-(X)

Deeb and Hansen had betting action on every street including 3 raises on the river that ended with Hansen calling Deeb's reraise and leaving himself with 35K. When Hansen called, Deeb immediately said "Four Sixes." Kaplan mucked and Hansen stood in disbelief. Hansen is left with 35K chips for tomorrow's final table and Gabe Kaplan was eliminated in 9th place earning himself $131,424 for his strong finish.
