Shoves, No Calls

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Van Nguyen (twice) and Roger Lussier have shoved so far, but no player has called yet. Michael Quick is a bit on the short side as well, so there's three people in the absolute danger zone. So far, it's mostly blinds and antes being traded around though.

Michael Quick Eliminated in 10th Place ($31.153)

Robin Ylitalo raised it up to 60,000 from early position and Barny Boatman made a three bet behind him. That was when all the action started as Paul Dasilva pushed allin and Michael Quick behind him pushed all in as well. Action folded to Ylitalo who quickly folded. Boatman needed a little more time to think and leaned back. Quick, who's been enjoying himself all day and has had a big smile the entire time, said "This is a big moment for me". Boatman eventually folded and soon everyone found out what the hands were.

Quick, who was at risk for 595,000 total, had {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. Dasilva had slightly more than that and tabled {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}. The dealer didn't make a whole show about it and rapidly burned and put the cards on the table: {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} | {3-Hearts} | {7-Hearts}. It went so fast that it took a mili second for Quick to realize that his opponent had backed doored a flush. "Nice hand" he said like a true gentleman.

There's now just nine players left who can all brag on facebook, twitter, instagram, iMessage and all other sorts of new communication that they've made a World Series of Poker final table. Some of them even grabbed their phone and actually called home to let them know. Others celebrated the old fashion way, with people in person on the rail.

We'll be right back as we gather the official chip counts and set up on the rail of the big stage in the middle of the Amazon Room.

Hand #5: In the fifth hand of the final table Barny Boatman has secured a full double up. Noah Sandler raised the action to 65,000 and Barny Boatman made it 165,000 to go. Behind him Paul Dasilva made it 280,000 which made Sandler fold quickly. Boatman had other plans though and pushed all in. Dasilva made the call and the cards were turned up.

Boatman had a great spot with {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} because he was up against {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}. The board never got really scary, though Dasilva picket up a gutshot at the turn: {7-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} | {6-Clubs} | {4-Spades}.

Roger Lussier Eliminated in 9th Place ($40,162)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Roger Lussier
Roger Lussier

Hand #13: Brian O'Donoghue made it 60,000 to go from middle position and he called as Roger Lussier pushed all in for 380,000 from the cut off. Lussier held the {A-Spades}{8-Clubs} but that was the inferior hand as O'Donoghue showed {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

The {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop didn't change a thing though the {K-Hearts} on the turn did a little. O'Donoghue made a pair but there were split pot outs. The {8-Diamonds} on the river, though hitting Lussier, made no difference however. O'Donoghue made his flush and eliminated Lussier.
