. Phillips checked to Cada, who made a strong lead of 325,000. That was enough to fold Puumalainen, but not Phillips. He stuck around until the turn 
, where he check-folded to a bet of 475,000 from Cada.Cada is now sitting behind about 4.1 million chips. Phillips is down to 1.9 million.
The table was confused. Several asked Martin what those chips were. Martin replied it was a raise to 150,000, but everyone (including the dealer) had heard his verbal declaration of a raise to 300,000. He was forced to put 300,000 chips out.
Action folded to the action-prone Hieu Luu on the button. He reraised to 900,000, folding all other players in the hand -- including Martin.

on the turn brought two more checks. Robbins checked the on the river, Duvall took a stab at the pot for 400,000 and Robbins folded. After the hand, Duvall was up to 4,160,000.
Seat 1: Steven Begleiter (6,315,000) was in fourth place overall coming into Day 7. Begleiter is from Chappaqua, New York and is a relative newcomer to the game, and this will be his first meaningful cash.
Seat 2: Antonio Esfandiari (5,610,000) is by far the most accomplished player at this table, having more than $3,000,000 in career winnings under his belt. The Magician already owns one bracelet, and he has his eyes set on adding another one to his collection.
Seat 3: Ryan Fair (2,940,000) has four career WSOP cashes under his belt, but this showing in the final event will be his first payday this year. He has just about 150,000 in earnings over the past three years.
Seat 4: Ian Tavelli (1,985,000) is going to make his first WSOP cash a good one here today. Tavelli comes in with no tournament results, but he will walk away with at least six figures from this event.
Seat 5: James Akenhead (1,655,000) is a force to be reckoned with for the rest of the table. The Brit has two career WSOP cashes along with a host of good showings all around the world. He will likely crest the $1,000,000 mark for career tournament earnings when he picks up his payout for this event.
Seat 6: Hung Pham (1,006,000) has just over $10,000 in career earnings, and nothing since 2004. He'll have a bankroll to work with after he takes home at least six-figure money following this first WSOP cash.
Seat 7: Mark Ader (1,610,000) is another man who will more than double up his career tournament cashes after this event. Ader has one small WPT cash under his belt, but this payday will be his first at the WSOP.
Seat 8: Warren Zackey (1,400,000) has no tournament record as far as we can tell, but he certainly will after today.
Seat 9: Adam York (3,515,000) is from Bristol, England, and he's working on his second WSOP cash. His first came last year in the Main Event where he took 114th place, and he's already improved upon that this year.
