This Is Sparta! Well...Not Anymore.
Purvis:
![{A-Spades}](/img/cards/as.gif)
![{Q-Diamonds}](/img/cards/qd.gif)
Sparta:
![{K-Spades}](/img/cards/ks.gif)
![{10-Hearts}](/img/cards/10h.gif)
The board missed both players, and just as the Spartans, Phillip Sparta succumbed to the insurmountable odds of Blake Purvis's stack.
After the hand Purvis moved up to around 240,000 in chips.
What A Call By Tims

![{7-Clubs}](/img/cards/7c.gif)
![{8-Clubs}](/img/cards/8c.gif)
Tims isn't sold that Henson has a good hand and comments, "Why do I think you're making a move on me?" After a few more minutes off deliberation, Tims makes the call.
Henson sheepishly turned over the
![{A-Clubs}](/img/cards/ac.gif)
![{9-Spades}](/img/cards/9s.gif)
![{A-Diamonds}](/img/cards/da.gif)
![{10-Hearts}](/img/cards/10h.gif)
The river falls the
![{6-Diamonds}](/img/cards/6d.gif)
Henson is eliminated and Tims has increased his chip stack to a whopping 142,000.
Beware the Short Stacked Value Bet

![{A-Spades}](/img/cards/as.gif)
Beverly Cheney Eliminated
Cheney: K-K
Abraham: A-J
In this situation, players usually don't want to see an ace hit the board. This time the call should have been "no jack". The board came
![{6-Diamonds}](/img/cards/6d.gif)
![{10-Spades}](/img/cards/10s.gif)
![{J-Hearts}](/img/cards/jh.gif)
![{J-Clubs}](/img/cards/jc.gif)
![{J-Spades}](/img/cards/js.gif)
The next hand Cheney was all in with K-5 against her opponents Q-10. A queen on both the flop and river ended Cheney's day.
Beverly Cheney was the last woman standing in our tournament field today. She outlasted over 200 players for a very strong finish in this circuit event.
Fox is a Goner

Tensing Up

The rest of the room gave a slight chuckle in response, but there is no genuine laughter here as it's all business at this point. Every time a player busts or is moved, the remaining players ask for a total count on the remaining contestants and glance around to find the short stacks.
'All in and call' situations are also big events, as players from other tables come running to see if someone gets eliminated, while spectators squeeze in as close as they can from the rail to try and get a view of the action.
