7th Place - Dan Jensen
7th Place - Dan Jensen
Action folded around to Keith Murrell on the cutoff, who raised to to 24,000. Dan Jensen moved all in from the small blind and Murrell called. The players showed:

Murrell: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Jensen: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}

The flop helped neither player, coming {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Jensen picked up a flush draw on the turn when it fell the {6-Diamonds}. His hopes were quickly dashed however when the {4-Spades} hit the river. Murrell's ace high was best and Jensen was sent packing. Along with a story to tell, he'll leave here with $23,981.

A Historic Battle of the Blinds

Action folded around to Michael Martin in the small blind who called. Keith Murrell checked his option and the two saw a flop of {A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. Martin checked and Murrell slid 15,000 across the yellow line. Martin quietly called. The {4-Spades} peeled off on the turn prompting both players to check. The river came the {K-Clubs} and again, both men rapped the felt. Martin showed A-7 and Murrell mucked. This was the first hand of the final table to see a turn card that was not an "all in preflop" situation.

Action folded around to Bernard Lee and he opened for a raise to 15,500. Ron Koenemann wasted little time moving all in and when it was back to Lee, he insta-called. The players showed:

Lee: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Koenemann: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

Koenemann came up short when the board filled out {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. He stood up, shook Lee's hand and headed for the door. Koenemann was eliminated in eighth place and will take home a nice $18,766 payday for his efforts.

The Clear Fan Favorite

As if it weren't already obvious based on the introductions, it's become clear that local Nicholas Manganaro is definitely the fan favorite. Even the task of stealing the blinds and antes is not complete for Manganaro without an uproar of applause from his ever-growing audience of supporters.
