Tony G On the Brink

[user37786]

With his board showing {Q-Diamonds}

Tony G watched as Joe Bunevith rolled over the {K-Hearts}

to go with his exposed {7-Clubs}

. Unable to beat Bunevith's flush Tony mucked his hand, and he's down to just 2,000 chips.

06-26-2008 17:51 UTC-7

Stud:

With the last of his chips going in as an ante Tony G tripled up when his trip sevens held up. That didn't stop Ralph Perry and Tony continuing their verbal jousting, with Tony pleased that he got to stick around to stick it to Perry for at least a few more minutes. Perry responded in kind and Tony finally said, "Why won't you let it go? I'm the one with just a few chips and you have plenty."

He's Trying

[user37786]

Stud-8:

Tony G was again all in in a three-way pot with Tim Phan and Tom Dwan. Phan and Dwan were contesting a side pot and Phan chased Dwan out before the showdown, and he ended up chopping the pot with Tony when his pair of nines took the high while Tony's 8-6-7-5-2 took the low.

Tony then turned to Ralph Perry and said, "I'm trying, Ralph. I'm trying to go out," as the back-and-forth continued between those two.

David Grey Eliminated

[user40108]

Stud:

David Grey was just sent to the rail. He was in good shape through sixth street with a pair of queens, but Andy Bloch rivered a Broadway straight to send him packing. Bloch climbed to just shy of 180,000 chips on the hand.
