Not Quite Ready Yet

[user37786]

It's a few minutes past three but only four of the players are actually at the table and the crowd hasn't yet been allowed in. So it's going to be a few minutes before we get underway.

06-05-2008 15:17 UTC-7

The players are taking their seats, the crowd has filed in, and we're probably a few minutes away from the start. We'll play the last 1:34 of Level 19 (6,000/12,000/1,000) from last night, then move to Level 20.

The action was folded around to Lyric Duveyoung who raised to 30,000. It was folded to Jeff Williams in the big blind who called. Both players checked the {J-Hearts}

flop, and when the {7-Hearts}

Hand #4-- Jeff Williams

Hand #5-- Lyric Duveyoung Eliminates Steve Gross (9th place, $57,881) and Jamie Rosen (8th place, $79,587)

[user37786]

It was folded around to Steve Gross who moved all in for his last 104,000, and then Jamie Rosen also moved all in for 420,000. Jeff Williams then asked for a count of Rosen's chips before tossing his cards in. Lyric Duveyoung thought a good while before moving all in for over 600,000 as well. Here are the hands:

Gross: {K-Clubs}

Rosen:

Duveyoung: {Q-Spades}

The flop came {3-Spades}

, giving Gross a pair of tens. The {9-Clubs}

hit on the turn, keeping Duveyoung in the lead. The {5-Hearts}

on the river helped neither Gross nor Rosen and they were both eliminated, with Gross finishing ninth for $57,881 and Rosen eighth for $79,587 because of their chip positions before the hand.
