We missed the preflop action, but when we walked up to the table, there was already about 150,000 in the pot. The flop was out, , and Chris Summers had checked in the big blind.

Summers:
Le:
Le had the nut flush, slammed his cardsdown on the table, and ran to celebrate with his rail. Summers was drawing dead, and the meaningless river was the . Le dragged the pot to up his stack to 1.98 million, good enough for second place right now.
With the elimination of Chris Summers, we are down to our official final table. The remaining nine players are on a 15 minute break, while their stacks are moved over to the TV feature table.
Now that we have reached the final table, the pay jumps are really starting to rise. This means that every decision is that much more critical, as any hand can make you or break you. This was clearly evident in a hand between Tong Le and Julie Franks that lasted over five minutes without even seeing a flop.
Le opened in early position to 65,000, and action folded to Franks in the cutoff. She counted out chips for a raise, and made it 145,000 to go. Action folded back to Le, who went into the tank. Le thought for about two minutes, getting a count from Franks and rechecking his hand in the process, before he decided to reraise to 275,000 total. Now it was Franks turn to go into the tank. She thought a couple of minutes herself, checking her hole cards a few times, before ultimately folding her hand. Le takes the pot, and inches closer to chip leader Freddy Deeb.
Julie Franks opened for 65,000 from under the gun and action folded all the way around to Leroy Spires on the button. Spires called, the blinds released and the flop came . Franks led out with 95,000 and Spires called. The turn came and Franks bet again, this time 135,000. Spires called and the river brought an interesting on the river.
Franks finally slowed down and checked. Spires put out 200,000 and Franks checked after some thought.
Freddy Deeb raised in middle position to 70,000, and David Singontiko was next to act. He thought for about 15 seconds, before moving all in for 749,000. Everyone else got out of the way, and it was back to Deeb. After getting an approximate count, Deeb made the call. The cards were tabled, and Deeb was in great shape.
Deeb:
Singontiko:
Singontiko was in bad shape, needing one of the three kings left in the deck. The flop came out, and he hit one of those outs, as it came . Most of the table and rail let out some sort of expression, except for the two players involved in the hand. The turn brought the , and Deeb would need a miracle to win the hand. He didn't get it, as the river brought the . After the hand, Singontiko dobules to 1.55 million, while Deeb drops to 1.6 million. Tong Le is your new chip leader with 9 players left.
