Our first family pot -- no raising at all before all three players saw the {2-Hearts}

flop. Peter Rho checked to Geary who bet 125,000, and he was called by Anthony Harb. Rho passed.

Geary checked the {9-Clubs}

turn, but then moved all in to a 200,000 bet from Harb. A swift pass, and the chips were his.

Rho, Rho, Rho Your Boat

Peter Rho and Jim Geary got involved, making it all the way down an {A-Spades}

board. Rho bet 320,000 in the river and Geary made a tentative call -- but mucked when Rho turned over {Q-Hearts}

for a full house.

Level: 28

Blinds: 40,000/80,000

Ante: 10,000

Three Minute Commercial Break Over

Thanks, ESPN! Just enough time to make it to the bathroom and back.

Jim Geary, very definitely the short stack here, moved all in from the big blind to a button raise from Anthony Harb, and Harb gave it up.

A couple hands later he shoved from the button, and picked up the precious blinds and antes.

Rho Picks Up a Pot

[user46392]

Seeing a

flop, Anthony Harb bet out 125,000. Peter Rho decided to call.

They both checked the {2-Clubs}

turn, and Harb checked the {J-Hearts}

river too. Rho went to bet 225,000, but Harb had already folded, shaking his head in what appeared to be sorrow and remorse, but could just have been mild frustration. We will never know.

Everybody's Sleepy Now

[user46392]

As WSOP final tables go, this is by no means a late night yet. But bear in mind that players (and bloggers alike!) were in the Amazon Room until 3am yesterday, and then had to be back in here at noon today -- once you factor in showering, travelling, eating and so on, that doesn't really leave much time for rest. So it's no surprise that our remaining three finalists are largely staring wearily at the felt, hands propping up their heads, with no banter or amusing behavior at all to speak of.
