Hand #40 - Dean Bui / Luis Velador

Osmin Dardon has the button in Seat 8. Luis Velador raises to 57,000 and Dean Bui calls. The flop is {A-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}. Bui bets 105,000, Velador moves all in and it's 242,000 more for Bui to call. Bui starts slamming his chips around as he tanks and tries to elicit a few words out of Velador who remains silent, chomping away on his gum. After much hemming and hawing, Bui calls.

Bui {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

Velador {A-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}

The turn is the {3-Spades} and it's a chopped pot. Bui jumps out of his seat in anguish, having had his opponent crushed on the flop. The river is the meaningless {8-Clubs} and they split the pot.

Hand #41 - Luis Velador

Anthony Signore has the button in Seat 9. Osmin Dardon raises to 75,000 from the cutoff seat. Luis Velador reraises to 199,000 total from the big blind. Dardon makes the call and they go heads up to the flop.

The flop comes {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. Velador bets 275,000 and Dardon surveys the situation. He shuffles five yellow chips while staring Velador down. After about three minutes, a clock is called. With about 40 seconds left, Dardon stands up. He eventually folds and Velador wins the pot.

Velador bets 30,000 and Georges calls. The turn is the {8-Diamonds}. Velador fires again, for 75,000, Georges folds and Velador wins the pot.

Dany Georges Eliminated in 7th Place ($100,638)

Dany Georges - 6th Place

Hand #47 - Dean Bui

Osmin Dardon has the button in Seat 8. Dany Georges moves all in for 488,000 from middle position. Dean Bui calls from the big blind and the players show:

Bui: {6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}
Georges: {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts}

The flop comes {K-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {3-Clubs}. Georges could now win with a {Q-?} in addition to his overcards. The turn brings the {7-Spades}, no help to either player. With the gallery here on their feet, the river comes the {3-Spades}. Bui's sixes are best.

There is some confusion as to whether or not Bui had Georges covered, but after a count, it was determined he indeed did.

Dany Georges was eliminated in 7th place and takes home $100,638 to show for it.
