Looks like things are beginning to heat up a bit.

The turn bricked the and a repeat on the river gave Berger a valuable double up as he goes from almost being out the door, to being right back in contention!

Charles Wood has a group of folks in the audience that are here to support him on his run to this Senior's World Championship. They are all wearing t-shirts that say "Knock on Wood". Wood certainly hopes that they can bring him the little extra bit of luck needed to bring this one home.

Peter Silverstein was all in for less than the big blind. Fred Berger limped in for 40,000. Dan Lacourse raised to 160,000 and it was folded around back to Berger who folded.

A collective "oooh" came out from the crowd when the flop hit . Lacourse picked up flush draw and a straight draw on the turn when the hit. Unfortunately for Silverstein, the hit the river and Silverstein becomes our 7th place finisher. He will take home $64,588 for his efforts.

Eddie Villareal has just popped into the feature table area to wish the final table good luck. Eddie finished 13th in this event and entertained everyone with his colorful antics and singing at the table as the clock ticked past 4 a.m last night. From the balcony of the Milwaukee's Best Light Bar he sung everyone a brief song as the lovable character said he had to "fly off to LA!" So long Eddie!

Peter Silverstein moved all in preflop and was called by Fred Berger. Silverstein had Berger covered.
