John Myung raised to 56,000 from the cut-off (which is also UTG+1), only for Jonathan Spinks to move all in from the button for a total of 299,000. After a long dwell, Myung made the call.
Spinks:
Myung:
As the hands were revealed, I could sense the negativity in Spinks who just never got going today, and he was justified in his pessimism as the board came a blank to send him to the rail.
"I knew you weren't light," commented Myung as they shook hands.

Level: 24
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 4,000
On the first hand of 10-handed play, the action stopped on John Myung in the cut-off who made it 57,000 to go: Taylor Larkin defended his big blind.
After both players had checked the flop, Myung led for 67,000 on the turn and Larkin made the call. On the river, Myung once again fired a shell, this time to the tune of 120,000. Again, Larkin made the call before showing . Myung mucked his hand.
So far on this unofficial final table, it has just been a simple raise being enough to pick up the blinds and antes.
Nothing too crazy so far, but it's still early!
The action folded round to John Myung in the small blind and he raised it up to 68,000.
Chadwick Grimes made the call before being faced with a 85,000-chip bet from Myung on the flop.
Grimes mulled over a decision for a while before cutting out a very fumbly raise of 185,000.
Myung went deep into the tank before eventually finding a fold while slipping to 580,000, as Grimes collected the pot to move to 1,530,000 in chips.
