Day 2 Completed

Wham, Bam...We Have A Final Table

We were down to 11 players and needed one more elimination to consolidate to one table. We never made it that far.

First, Todd Lundwall moved in with pocket sevens and was called by Ray Spencer with {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Spencer flopped an ace and Lundwall didn't catch a seven the rest of the way. He was eliminated in 11th place.

That hand wasn't even over yet when Duane Felix raised to 100K and Thomas Middelthon moved all in for his last 280,000. The players at that table didn't know that Lundwall had already been eliminated and suddenly a huge crowd gathered around as Felix decided whether to call. He eventually did and turned over {A-Spades}{J-Spades}, which trailed Middelthon's pocket queens.

There was a crowd three-deep around the table as the flop came {J-Hearts}{K-Spades}{5-Clubs}. A number of people called out, "Ace! Ace!"...and suddenly there was an explosion of cheers as the dealer laid the {A-Clubs} on the felt. We were one card away from setting our final table and that card, the {7-Clubs}, fell on the river. Middelthon was eliminated in 10th place, and we now have our final table set for tomorrow.

And here are the players who will fight for the bracelet, starting at 12 noon, PDT tomorrow:

Seat 1: Lewis Titterton 552,000
Seat 2: Greg Mueller 1,032,000
Seat 3: Chandrasekhar Billavara 456,000
Seat 4: Leandro Pimentel 1,134,000
Seat 5: John Hunt 1,128,000
Seat 6: Taylor Douglas 2,618,000
Seat 7: Duane Felix 996,000
Seat 8: John Hunt 833,000
Seat 9: Cort Kibler-Melby 694,000

More Shouting Than Singing This Time

If you hear a lot of shouting in Portuguese coming from the rail you can be sure Leandro Pimentel is involved in a big hand. This time he raised 105K before the flop and was called by Ray Spencer. The flop came {6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and both players checked. The {2-Hearts} turned and Spencer called Pimentel's 205,000 bet. When the {A-Spades} hit on the river Pimentel moved all in and Spencer called. Pimentel showed A-J and Spencer showed the {A-Diamonds} before mucking his hand -- and touching off a wild celebration from the rail. Pimentel now has 700,000 and Spencer 1.1 million.

There's Always Singing Involved

The say it ain't over till the fat lady sings, but what about when there's a group of Brazilians singing? It looked like Leandro"Brasa" Pimentel was about to eliminate Todd Lundwall with Pimentel's pocket sixes leading Lundwall's {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} on a {2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} board. Pimentel's supporters began singing in celebration...and the {Q-Diamonds} hit on the river.

And the singing stopped. Instantly.

Pimentel's stack was chopped down to 180,000, while Lundwall is now up to 580K.
