, and Henson adds 15 orange chips to the pot, worth 1,000 each. Tims cuts out a large stack of those oranges from his carefully organized pile, and slides 45,000 slowly into the center. Henson mulls it over for several minutes before mucking his cards, and Tims' stack has swelled to 125,000, up there among the chip leaders.
Purvis:

The board missed both players, and just as the Spartans, Phillip Sparta succumbed to the insurmountable odds of Blake Purvis's stack.

and Henson moves all in for 25,000.Tims isn't sold that Henson has a good hand and comments, "Why do I think you're making a move on me?" After a few more minutes off deliberation, Tims makes the call.

, Wright counted out his chips, looking like he was contemplating an all-in move. Wright counted out 22,000 in chips. He then proceeded to make a bet of 11,000. Tims tanked for a couple of minutes, apparently confused as to why Wright didn't push. Finally he called and Costner folded.

and Purvis' sixes held up to take down the pot, bringing his field-leading stack close to 280,000.
Cheney: K-K
Abraham: A-J
In this situation, players usually don't want to see an ace hit the board. This time the call should have been "no jack". The board came
to give Abraham quad jacks and cripple Cheney. After the hand Cheney was down to about 15,000 and Abraham moved to about 85,000.The next hand Cheney was all in with K-5 against her opponents Q-10. A queen on both the flop and river ended Cheney's day.
Beverly Cheney was the last woman standing in our tournament field today. She outlasted over 200 players for a very strong finish in this circuit event.

The board comes
, and Fox is eliminated just short of the money. Costner, meanwhile, has grown his chip count to over 120,000.
The rest of the room gave a slight chuckle in response, but there is no genuine laughter here as it's all business at this point. Every time a player busts or is moved, the remaining players ask for a total count on the remaining contestants and glance around to find the short stacks.
'All in and call' situations are also big events, as players from other tables come running to see if someone gets eliminated, while spectators squeeze in as close as they can from the rail to try and get a view of the action.
