Still Movin' And Shakin'

Sung limps for 80,000 and Mullen raises to 300,000 from the big blind. Sung has limped a fair bit but generally calls the raises. This time though Sung makes it 800,000 to play and Mullen quickly folds.

Sung has gone from almost chip leader to almost out and now -- he's back in second place.

Sung Wins Huge Pot

Dan Heimiller raises preflop to 210,000 and Steve Sung made the call from the small blind. The flop was {8-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades} and Sung led for 300,000 and Heimiller made the call.

On the {J-Clubs} turn, Sung bet 650,000 and Heimiller raised an additional 850,000 more. Sung tanked for a couple of minutes before reraising all-in! Heimiller folded and Sung has really turned around from the start of this level.

Chip Counts:

Seat 1: Dan Heimiller - 1,940,000
Seat 3: Nathan Mullen - 1,360,000
Seat 5: James Matz III - 2,525,000
Seat 6: Steve Sung - 6,360,000
Seat 7: Panayote 'Pete' Vilandos - 4,535,000
Seat 8: Larry Sidebotham - 1,320,000

Level: 29

Blinds: 50,000/100,000

Ante: 10,000

Matz Doesn't Trust His Ducks

Matz-hematics said he should fold.

James Matz III raises to 300,000 from UTG. It's passed to Nathan Mullen in the big blind who moves all-in for 1,030,000 more.

Matz stares intensely at Mullen, almost breaking into a smile before folding {2-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}.

Sung Now in Control

Steve Sung raises from the cutoff and takes the blinds and antes with a 250,000 raise.

The next hand he raises again. This time, Dan Heimiller calls from the small blind and the flop of {4-Spades} {J-Clubs} {8-Spades} is checked around. The turn is the {5-Spades} and Heimiller bets 350,000. After a minute or two, Sung declares, "I'm all in," and Heimiller gives it up.

It really has been an incredible turn-around for Steve Sung. Earlier, he was the shortest stack and probably favorite to go out next, now he's dominating the table and looking most likely to win.

Dan-Druffed: Dan Heimiller Eliminated In 6th Place ($145,009)

Dan Heimiller - 6th
Dan Heimiller - 6th
Dan Heimiller limps for 100,000 and Steve Sung raises to 350,000 from the small blind. Pete Vilandos makes the call, but now Heimiller moves all-in. Sung calls and Vilandos shakes his head and folds.

Sung: {A-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Heimiller: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}

The rail is full of Mullen and Sidebotham fans, who call for queens and hearts so their guys will ladder up.

The board comes {3-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {2-Clubs} and Heimiller, who dominated the late stages of this tournament, is gone in 6th place.
