Kaiser Troy-ze

Chris Tryba, looking over at Max Troy who had just won a pot from him: "Just can't beat that guy!"

David Levi: "Stop playing with him then."

Tryba went over to the next table and told Allen Bari, "Kaiser Soze. Kaiser Soze!" while pointing at Troy. He was still whispering, "Kaiser Soze," at Troy when he sat back down at his own table.

Michael Foti Eliminated in 10th Place ($13,275)

Michael Foti - 10th place
Michael Foti - 10th place

Michael Foti: {8-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Christopher George: {2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

Michael Foti was all in on Early Street, and up against Christopher George. When it came to seventh street, George flipped the {6-Hearts} and announced, "Flush. And a low."

"Jesus, so I need a five for a quarter," sighed Foti. He flipped not a five but the {7-Diamonds} and duly busted out.

Down to nine, we're not quite at an official final table but all our remaining players have squashed on to a single table until one of them busts out.

Curious George Doesn't Get to See Troy's Hand

Christopher George: {2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} / {2-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Maxwell Troy: (mucked) / {6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}

It looked as though Christopher George completed and Maxwell Troy raised; either way George called and they saw a fourth card.

George checked on fourth street and called the bet from Troy. On fifth street, Geoge was first to act with a pair of queens but just checked. Troy checked behind.

George tanked up for a while on sixth street, hypothesizing out loud, "You have a pair of aces." He checked, but then called Troy's bet.

So, to seventh street. Both players checked and George turned over two pair, deuces and queens. Whatever Troy had, it presumably couldn't beat two pair as he just mucked.

Troy - down to a still chip leading 740,000 (he's been over 800,000 before the hand)
George - up to 550,000

Breaking the Walhbeck Down

Topias Wahlbeck is now the table short stack and favourtie to final table bubble after losing most of his stack to neighbor Karina Jett. By seventh, Topias was left with 10,000, only for Jett to announce, "Two pair and low," which was good enough to take the pot.

Wahlbeck: {mucked}/{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Jett: {8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}/{A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
