Michael Foti was all in on Early Street, and up against Christopher George. When it came to seventh street, George flipped the and announced, "Flush. And a low."
"Jesus, so I need a five for a quarter," sighed Foti. He flipped not a five but the and duly busted out.
Down to nine, we're not quite at an official final table but all our remaining players have squashed on to a single table until one of them busts out.
Chris Tryba, looking over at Max Troy who had just won a pot from him: "Just can't beat that guy!"
David Levi: "Stop playing with him then."
Tryba went over to the next table and told Allen Bari, "Kaiser Soze. Kaiser Soze!" while pointing at Troy. He was still whispering, "Kaiser Soze," at Troy when he sat back down at his own table.
When I joined the action, Odette Tremblay was all in with the hole cards revealed. Karina Jett was her potential assassin, and after both players peeled their final face down card, Jett did indeed sniper down Tremblay to leave us with 10.
Jonathan Bascom: {X}{X}{X}/
Christopher George: {X}{X}{X}/
After completing with his ace, preflop, Bascom fired on pretty much every street and was called down each time by George. When Bascom moved all in on seventh, however, George hesitated, adding, "Man, I just don't know what I beat."
After turning face-up onto the felt, George eventually made a reluctant call. "I got there," announced Bascom flipping . "I was on a stone cold bluff."
"It's a chop?" said a wide-eyed George. "I thought you'd made your hand when you said you got there. I would have been really sick if I'd folded, though, and you'd turned over the bluff."
Jonathan Bascom took a hit (we think the chips went to Allen Bari) and thus he was extremely short when he got involved with Christopher George.
David Warga had made the bring in but folded when Bascom raised and Christopher George (we think) reraised - either way they were heads up and on their backs on third street.
Bascom: / /
George: [ / /
Bascom's full house was about as unequivocal as they come, and he doubled to around 100,000.
Kevin MacPhee made the bring in and then sighed and tossed in his last few chips when Odette Tremblay completed. The bets were assessed and the pot pushed to the middle of the table, and the rest of the cards were dealt.
MacPhee managed to make a pair of queens, but Tremblay made two pair. With no low for either of them, Tremblay scooped and was up to a still shaky 75,000. MacPhee meanwhile hit the rail, leaving his fruit platter at the bloggers' table.
Kevin MacPhee must have Survivor on his iPod as he's just doubled up courtesy of Karina Jett. The action was three-handed until fifth street where Topias Wahlbeck stepped out the way. In the end, MacPhee hit a nice river card to double up to 33,000.
Odette Tremblay has taken another hit - we didn't catch the hands, but David Levi was stacking up a bunch of her chips after the event, putting him up to 530,000 and Tremblay down to 50,000.
Meanwhile Kevin MacPhee's stack has further tumbled to just, er, 15,000. That's a little over one big bet. The unfortunate MacPhee was huffing and puffing and waiting for the next hand last we saw of him, and although a recovery is eminently possible, it looks as though his fruit platter is one step closer to becoming officially ours.
Kevin MacPhee wasn't too far from being eliminated. MacPhee had an obvious low, but David Levi was drawing to the scoop with a made flush and, if he had hit an ace or a three, the six low. But, in the end, Levi missed his low with / and MacPhee survived.
