Hal Havlisch Is Eliminated in 6th Place

Hal Havlisch came into today's final table with by far the shortest stack, but he doubled up, doubled up, and tripled up and lasted longer than three other players. But with a short stack still he moved in before the flop with {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and was called by Michael Graffeo in the big blind with {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

The {10-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Spades} flop gave Graffeo the lead and the {10-Spades} on the turn sealed the deal. Hal Havlisch wins $34,365 for his 6th place finish.

Saif Ahmad Cripples Justin Pechie

Pechie raised in the small blind and Ahmad quickly 3-bet it. Pechie called and they saw a {K-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop. Pechie checked, Ahmad bet 20K and after thinking a bit Pechie called. Both players checked the {5-Spades} on the turn but when the {A-Diamonds} hit on the river and Pechie checked, Ahmad grabbed a handful of chips and slammed down a 40K bet. Again Pechie though about it before making the call, and Ahmad turned over {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Pechie looked down at his cards before flipping over the {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. That hand leaves him with just 60,000.

Tommy Rounds Is Eliminated in 5th Place

It keeps happening--a player doubles up, then busts. This time it was Tommy Rounds, who raised from the big blind with {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and was called by Saif Ahmad. The flop came {2-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}, Rounds bet the last of his chips and Ahmad called and showed {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. The {Q-Hearts} and {4-Spades} on the turn and river brought no help and Rounds was knocked out in 5th place, collecting $43,811.

William Jensen Wins A Huge Pot From Saif Ahmad

Ahmad raised from the small blind and Jensen called from the big, and after the {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop Ahmad check-called Jensen's bet. It was the {J-Hearts} on the turn that set off the fireworks. The two players trades raises until the betting was capped and a mountain of orange chips sat in the middle of the table.

Saif check-called William's bet after the {A-Clubs} fell on the river and turned over pocket Sevens for the flopped set. But Jensen turned a straight and rivered a flush with {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} to win the biggest pot of the tournament.
