The Bubble Bursts with the Elimination of Tony G

Tony G and Erick Lindgren get it all in Preflop, with Tony showing {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}, and Erick flips over the {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. The flop of {A-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts} pretty much seals Tony's fate. And the {7-Clubs} on the turn means the three remaining players can do no worse than $250,000 each for their troubles. Oh, by the way,. the river was the {A-Clubs}

Tony G finishes 4th. The remaining three players are in the money.

Leaking....

Masaaki Kagawa is beginning to leak away his chips. he got clipped for 200k when Erik Seidel re-raised his re-raise pre-flop, and he layed it down. Masaaki has slowly but surely bled chips, and is now the short stack.

Beer Time

As the evening wears on, Erick Lindgren has bought a round of beers for the rail. he looked at the floorman, and said "I'd like 31 beers - one for me, and 30 for the rail.' TD Brett Jones obliged, and everyone on the rail has a drink.

Masaaki Kagawa 3rd place

After watching his chip stack dwindle for the better part of two hours, Masaaki Kagawa decided to re-raise Erik Seidel with {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for the last of his chips. Seidel made the call with {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and the race was on. A board of {9-Hearts}{J-Spades}{4-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} changed nothing, and Masaaki Kagawa was our third place finisher, and picked up $250,000 for his efforts.
