Kyle Ray - 6th Place
Kyle Ray - 6th Place
After Kevin Hong raised from middle position, Kyle Ray called all in from the small blind. The two players were heads up with Ray's tournament life on the line in a dominated position. Ray held {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts} and Hong held {K-Diamonds} {9-Spades}.

The flop came down {J-Spades} {8-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} to give Ray some additional outs. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and gave him even more outs. The river was the {5-Spades}, a nice blank for Hong, and Ray was eliminated in 6th place.

Railbirds

Erick Lindgren and his pops are in the building to check out Daniel Negreanu. Eric Froelich is here sweating as is Jason "JCarver" Somerville.

Railing Kyle Ray are a bunch of friends including some of his fellow members of CardRunners.

Ray Bleeding

Not physically, but his chip stack certainly is. Kyle Ray began the final table with over 400,000 chips and has dwindled down to under 200,000. No one player has taken all of Ray's chips. Instead, he's passed them around to almost every opponent at the table.
