David Gorr
David Gorr

Hand #55: David Goor entered the pot under the gun to 90,000 and James Keys made the call from the button as a {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop fell.

Gorr continued for 225,000 as Keys contemplated a decision for over a minute before making the call as the {4-Hearts} peeled off on the turn. Gorr dropped in a stack of chocolate 25,000-denomination chips amounting to 400,000 to prompt a fold from Keys.

With that pot, Gorr moves over the five-million chip mark to sit with 5,250,000 in chips.

Hand #56: James Keys entered the pot from the cutoff for 90,000 and collected the blinds and antes.

Hand #57: Jeff Rossiter opened his cutoff to 95,000 and was pushed the blinds and antes after a few quick folds.

Hand #58: Randy Dorfman made it 100,000 from the cutoff and collected the blinds and antes before showing his {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} to prove he wasn't bluffing with his late position raise.

Hand #59: The action folded round to Michael Ryan in the small blind, and he gave James Keys a walk in the big.

Hand #55: Michael Ryan raised to 90,000 from the button and won the pot.

Hand #56: James Keys raised to 85,000 on the button and Randy Dorfman called from the big blind to see the flop come down {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Dorfman check-called a bet of 90,000 from Keys and the turn brought the {4-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The {7-Diamonds} fell on the river and both players checked again. Keys opened first and showed a pair of sevens, although the dealer didn't pull his hand into view of the monitor. Dorfman bested him by showing the {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and won the pot.

"Take a picture," said Dorfman.

Rivered Pair for Rossiter

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #57: Randy Dorfman didn't like his holecards and opted to kick them towards the muck from the small blind. With David Gorr finding a walk in the big blind, he flashed his {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Hand #58: James Keys opened to 90,000 from the hi-jack and Jeff Rossiter made the call from the cutoff as David Gorr defended his small blind.

The {4-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop saw Gorr tap the table, as both Keys and Rossiter followed suit. The {7-Clubs} on the turn also saw a round of checks before the {10-Spades} landed on the river.

Gorr and Keys checked it through as Rossiter splashed the pot with a 165,000-chip bet to force a quick fold from Gorr before Keys hesitated for nearly over two minutes before making the call.

Rossiter tabled his {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} to prompt a fold from Keys as he slips to 2,150,000 and Rossiter climbs to roughly the same mark.

Respect for James, Gorr Can't Bluff Rossiter

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #60: From the button, Sam Razavi made it 110,000 to go with Michael Ryan making the call from the small blind to see a {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop fall.

Ryan checked, and Razavi fired out a continuation-bet of 165,000 into Ryan who, after ninety seconds deliberating, folded his hand to slip to 2,230,000 in chips.

Hand #61: Sam Razavi made it 115,000 from the cutoff and he picked up the blinds and antes.

Hand #62: From the cutoff, Michael Ryan threw in 90,000 only to have James Keys three-bet to 210,000 from the button.

Ryan re-checked his holecards several times before dropping his cards at the muck to relinquish the pot to Keys.

"I'm giving you too much respect James!" stated Ryan.

Hand #63: Jeff Rossiter opened his button to 90,000 and David Gorr made the call from the big blind to see a {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{A-Hearts} flop fall.

Both players checked as the {8-Diamonds} on the turn saw Rossiter fire a delayed continuation-bet of 115,000. Gorr made the call to see a repeat {K-Hearts} land on the river with Gorr leading for 325,000.

"Good call!" sighed Gorr as Rossiter called and tabled his {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} to best Gorr's {J-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

Hand #64: Randy Dorfman raised from the button to 100,000 and won the pot.

Hand #65: James Keys raised to 90,000 from under the gun and Jeff Rossiter made the call from the next seat. Action folded around until it paused on Sam Razavi in the small blind while he tanked. He thought for a bit and then moved all in. Michael Ryan folded his big blind and Keys folded after him. Rossiter tanked and Razavi was all in for 915,000 total. He then folded and Razavi folded.

"This is how we doooo iiittttt!" broke out Razavi into a Montell Jordan song. He then gave a little Michael Jackson after that with a "Weeooooohooooo!" and raked the pot.

Gorr Flushes Keys

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Hand #66: From the cutoff, David Gorr made it 90,000 to go with James Keys calling out of the blinds.

The {3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} was checked through to see the {8-Hearts} land on the turn and Keys lead for 150,000 with Gorr calling.

The river of the {K-Hearts} brought about a check from Keys before Gorr dropped in a bet of 225,000. Keys dropped his hand in agony before returning to analyze the hand. After removing his sunglasses - for the first time at this final table we believe - Keys asked, "Did you hit a king? Heart?"

After several minutes of deliberation, Keys determined that a call was the right play - well until he saw the {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} of Gorr - and then mucked. Keys is now down to 1,380,000 as Gorr moves to 5,580,000 in chips.

After the {7-Hearts} hit the river and completed the board, Dorfman checked. Ryan bet 225,000 and then stared aimlessly in front of him. Dorfman began waving a hand to try and get Ryan to stir, but he didn't. Eventually, Dorfman said, "I deserve to lose this hand the way I played it," and made the call.

Ryan tabled king high and Dorfman the winner with the {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

Hand #74: James Keys bumped it to 85,000 from the button and Dorfman flashed his cards at Keys before folding from the big blind.

Hand #75: After a deck change, James Keys continued where he left off last hand by making it 90,000 to go from the cutoff. Randy Dorfman made the call from the small blind, as did David Gorr in the big to see a {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{J-Hearts} flop spread.

Both Dorfman and Gorr checked to see Keys' bet of 150,000 force folds from both the aforementioned players.

Hand #76: Jeff Rossiter opened to 95,000 from the cutoff and Sam Razavi defended his big blind to see a {Q-Spades}{3-Hearts}{K-Spades} flop.

Both players checked as the {8-Hearts} landed on the turn and again both players tapped the table. The {9-Diamonds} completed the board, and after a Razavi check, Rossiter tossed in a bet of 175,000.

Razavi deliberated for a few moments before making the call, only to muck at the sight of Rossiter's {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.
