[user67765]

The button is with Jerry Yamachika in Seat 9. The action passes to Dale Eberle who min-raised to 60,000 before Dan Lacourse made it 160,000 to go from the cutoff position. It folded to Charles Wood who made the call for his last 120,000 chips in the big blind as Eberle stepped aside.

Wood: {K-Clubs}

Lacourse:

The flop was a good one for Wood as it arrived {A-Spades}

to give Wood additional straight outs. The turn also improved his chances as the {Q-Spades}

gave Wood outs to counterfeit Lacourse’s pair. However he didn’t need them as the {K-Diamonds}

on the river sealed the deal and gave Wood a double up as his entourage cheered from the rail! Wood is now up to about 260,000 chips.

Marty Wilson Eliminated in 9th Place ($34,312)

[user42991]

The button was with Ed Clark in Seat 3. Fred Berger raised to 90,000 and it was folded around to Marty Wilson who moved all in for 439,000 total. Berger then went into the tank. A call would involve most of his chips. He sat for about five minutes cutting chips and thinking about the call. Finally he made the call.

Wilson: {8-Hearts}

Berger:

A classic race situation was presenting itself. The flop crushed Wilson when the {Q-Hearts}

hit the flop. Only one of the remaining eights would win the hand for Wilson. No help came for Wilson as the turn fell the {J-Hearts}

and the river came the {7-Spades}

.

Marty Wilson becomes our 9th place finisher and will receive $34,312.
