Down to Nine

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Two of these nine players will become poker millionaires tomorrow, and one of them will be crowned the PCA Main Event champion for 2012. We've got a small enough group to fit at one table now, so the nine have combined around the main featured table for one last redraw. It's a big one, because they'll be in these seats the rest of the way.

The unofficial final table should be under way in just a few moments.

We're Back

From the button, Ruben Visser made a mini-raise to 200,000 to start the action, and John Dibella defended his big blind for the extra 100,000.

The flop came out {J-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}, and Dibella check-called 150,000. He couldn't continue, though. Visser fired another 315,000 behind the {A-Hearts} turn, and Dibella checked and folded his way down around the million-chip mark.

Dibella Doubles Through Gregg

John Dibella all in
John Dibella all in

From the hijack seat, Anthony Gregg open-shoved with {K-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}, and John Dibella called all in for 1.055 million from the big blind. He was flipping for his tournament life with {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}, and things would run out well for him.

Board: {4-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}.

That's clean and safe for Dibella, and he's found another double to claw back into this match. Gregg, on the other hand, has been crippled down to his last few big blinds.

Gregg Gets His Double

On the first hand back from the break, Anthony Gregg took his stand. He opened by shoving his last 560,000 chips into the pot in early position, and he found action as Xuan Liu flatted on the button. The blinds released, and Gregg was heads up for his tournament life.

Showdown
Gregg: {9-Clubs} {9-Hearts}
Liu: {4-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}

There was no funny stuff on board, and the {2-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {10-Hearts} locked up the double for Gregg.
