From Chip Leader to Final Table Bubble Boy in Three Hands

[user42991]

Two hands after losing most of his chips to Timothy Miles, Fatolla Shahen moved all in for his remaining chips. Miles made the call.

Shahen: {A-Clubs}

Miles:

The flop hit both players with {J-Diamonds}

. Shahen would need to hit runner-runner for a flush, straight, or big full house in order to avoid elimination. Unfortunately for Shahen, the necessary cards did not come and Shahen is our 10th-place finisher.

The remaining players will consist our final table. The players are currently in the process of bagging and tagging their chips.

We Have the Nine!

Your overnight chip leader, Timothy Miles

With just less than 20 minutes left in Level 14, Fatolla Shahen was knocked out in 10th place, setting the stage for our final table tomorrow.

Today began at noon with 69 players, and it took until just before midnight to whittle the field down to the lucky nine who will play for the championship. These players will get to sleep in a couple extra hours tomorrow, and will have fancy new seats up on stage in the Harrah's Theatre when they return to start play at 2:00 p.m. CDT.

Of note is the fact that Lou Esposito, who won the $5,000 circuit championship event a year ago here at Harrah's New Orleans (May 2007), and final tabled the one after that (December 2007), has made it to Day 3. Additionally, Jeff Tims, winner of Event #12 here at the Bayou Poker Challenge, will have a shot at his second title in this series of events. In that recent win, he pocketed just over $58,000 and can improve on that by a big margin if he can manage to outlast the field in this championship event.

Thanks for joining us here today, and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. local time, as we crown the last WSOP Circuit Champion of the 2008 season.
