Let the Zelda Jokes Begin

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Dan Gannon
Dan Gannon

Dan Gannon has quite the lively rail. Over and over they can be heard yelling "Zelda was wrong," and "Link was wrong," in reference to the popular video game series The Legend of Zelda. By using Gannon's last name as "Gannondorf," instead, his railbirds can pay homage to the villain of the popular game.

They have also changed the lyrics of the popular song "Bands A Make Her Dance" by Juicy J to "Dans That Make Her Dance."

We'll keep you update on anymore interesting rail chants from this unofficial final table.

Hoffman Nears One Million After Picking Up Aces

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

From early position, Jed Hoffman raised to 50,000. Joseph Pergola called from the big blind, and the flop came down {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Both players checked, and the turn was the {10-Hearts}. Pergola bet 65,000, and Hoffman called.

The river was the {10-Clubs}, and Pergola bet 80,000. Hoffman called. Pergola showed the {J-Spades}{9-Spades}, but that was no good against Hoffman's {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

Russell Crane Eliminated in 10th Place ($25,980)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Russell Crane -- 10th Place
Russell Crane -- 10th Place

Poker can be a brutal game and not everything works out in your favor. Russell Crane can attest to just that after seeing his tournament life take a turn for the worse, and then completely die off in the matter of two hands.

On the first hand, action folded to Patrick Kubak on the button, and he raised all in for 411,000. Crane made the call from the big blind with the {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and was up against the {J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for Kubak. The board ran out {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}, and Kubak spiked a jack on the river to double up, while leaving Crane with about 175,000 in chips.

On the next hand, action folded to Crane in the small blind, and he raised all in. Blake Bohn called from the big blind with the {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. Crane held the {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}. The board ran out {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, and Crane was eliminated.

With Crane's bustout, the official final table has been set.
