T-Shirt of the Day

In a close second we have Mr Alan Jaffray, sporting a shirt emblazoned with the legend, "What Am I Doing Still Talking When There's Science To Be Done?"

But our clear winner today is the railer whose garment proclaims, "GO ALL IN FOR JESUS". Congratulations to that man.

David Lerman Eliminated in 7th Place ($88,937)

David Lerman - 7th Place
David Lerman - 7th Place
Glenn McCaffrey raised to 115,000 from EP and was called by Alan Jaffray and David Lerman before the flop came {10-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}. Lerman was first to act and moved all in for 415,000. McCaffrey thought for a short moment and then reraised forcing a fold from Jaffray.

McCaffrey -- {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts}
Lerman -- {9-Hearts} {4-Hearts}

The turn came {K-Spades} and river {A-Clubs}. Lerman went way behind on the turn and couldn't catch a four on the river to save his tournament.

Jaffray Needs a Hand or His Hat Back

Alan Jaffray should really consider putting his hat back on -- he's lost another little chunk to Andy Seth.

Seth made it 115,000 from the hijack and Jaffray called in the cutoff.

Flop: {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

Seth checked to Jaffray and then called his 160,000 bet. Onwards.

Turn: {K-Spades}

Now Seth bet out 265,000 and Jaffray disappeared into his own private tanking space, gazing thoughtfully into the distance. At last he folded.

Alan Jaffray Eliminated in 6th Place ($105,699)

Alan Jaffray - 6th Place
Alan Jaffray - 6th Place
Alan Jaffray made a big over shove for around 950,000 from EP and was looked up by Panayote 'Pete' Vilandos in the next seat and everyone else ducked out of the way.

Jaffray -- {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Vilandos -- {A-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts}

The board came {3-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {7-Spades} {3-Spades} to eliminate the hat and it's owner. Pete big chip leader now on 4.3million.

Pete Gets Down to Business

As if he has only just noticed that he is massive chip leader, Pete Vilandos has perked up. First he pushed Glenn McCaffrey off a pot by reraising to half a million to McCaffrey's 150,000. Then he raised two hands in a row and picked up the blinds each time. The break seems to have made him aggressive...

Greco's Got Chips

Glenn McCaffrey raised to 135,000, but Michael Greco made it 470,000 -- by the by, this is the first time that Greco has had enough chips to make a reraise that is not all in. McCaffrey thought better of the whole thing, and laid it down.
