Kingston:
Vakili:
A fatal duck was the doorcard as the board came
and Sam Vakili goes out first on the final table, pocketing $11,430 for his efforts.Kingston is up to 1,100,000.
Slow Going
That's enough for a porterhouse steak and a deposit on a house. Or, you could perhaps spend it on a luxury car and use the remainder for a day at the zoo.
Why not leave your ideas on how you would spend the first place prizemoney in the Shout Box?
The rules are simple - think of one exorbitant purchase worth up to $200,000, then one other thing up to $25. The winner will get a packet of Tim Tams.
Rawiller in the Rough
after Rawiller called Kingston's preflop raise of 105,000.Rawiller checked, Kingston fired out 200,000 and Rawiller mucked, left with just 225,000 in chips which he moved all in two hands later.
Rawillier held
and was just ahead of Brent Thomas who had called with 
. Rawiller took the lead on the 
flop but had to dodge spades to stay alive.Fortunately, the turn and river was full of paint as it ran out
,
and Rawiller is back up to 480,000.
Let the Final Battle Begin!
ALLEZ CUISINE!
Oops ... that's Iron Chef. I meant "shuffle up and deal".

Tony Hachem Eliminated in 11th Place ($9,144)
Tony Hachem moved his short stack into the middle from the cut-off. Glenn Croft quickly called behind him and the blinds folded.
Hachem: 
Croft:
The table went surreally Spartacus-esque as all the other players jokingly declared they had folded K-T. Hachem got the dealer to pause and said, "You know what to do!"
The flop came out 
but the turn was the 
and Hachem said, "Give him his Jack!" but the river was the 
, the ultimate brick.
We've now broken to one table where our players are now setting up.
If you didn't catch the video over the weekend, Lynn Gilmartin caught up with Hachem on Day 1B:
Ephraums Wins Game Of Chicken
The action came back to Ephraums who said quietly, "Four-hundred thousand," before sliding out several stacks of yellow 5k chips.
Edmonds thought for about a minute before releasing his hand, and also the chip lead.
Hachem Under the Pump
Hachem was none too pleased. "This is the third or fourth time I've raised from the button and being reraisd all in!" he cried.
Hachem eventually let it go and walked away from the table to cool off. He'll have to hurry back though - he's only on 260,000. Thomas is now on 1,075,000.
