Papola Spills to Spinella

The action folded to Anthony Spinella who raised to 50,000 preflop; Jeffrey Papola called from the big blind to go heads-up to the first flop of the evening, which read {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

Papola check-called Spinella's bet of 45,000 after the flop, then check-called both of Spinella's bet of 105,000 after the turn of the {10-Clubs} and the bet of 240,000 on the river of the {5-Clubs}. Spinella tabled {K-Spades}{10-Spades} for two pair and Papola mucked his hand.

George Jalkotzy - 7th Place

Action folded to Eddie Blumenthal on the button. He put in a min-raise to 40,000. George Jalkotzy reraised all in for 350,000 from the small blind and David Vamplew folded in the big blind. Blumenthal quickly made the call and revealed the {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}. Jalkotzy was crushed with the {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

The board ran out a rather sweat-less {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Jalkotzy was out the door in seventh place. He earned nearly $50,000 for his finish. The remaining six players are now at the official World Series of Poker final table for this event.

Spinella Props Up Papola

Anthony Spinella has had two-thirds of his stack shipped over to Jeffrey Papola as the action continues on the final table of Event #10 here at the WSOP.

The action folded to Spinella who raised to 60,000 from the button; Bryan Colin folded his small blind, but Papola came back with a reraise from the big blind, making it 165,000 to go. Spinella called and the dealer spread the flop of {2-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}.

Papola led out for 190,000 and after some consideration, Spinella announced he was all-in. Papola snap-called.

Papola: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Spinella: {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Neither the turn of the {10-Spades} or the river {2-Hearts} were of any help to Spinella and he went straight back to tweeting on his phone as the dealer pushed over the pot to Papola.

Action Jackson!

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

There's been no shortage of hands played at this final table - such is the nature of six-max! Here's a quick rundown of the most recent action:

Earlier, the players folded around to Jeffrey Papola who raised to 50,000 from the cutoff; David Vamplew reraised to 138,000 from the small blind and Papola called before folding to Vamplew's bet of 135,000 after the flop of {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

A short time later, Eddie Blumenthal raised to 52,000 from the cutoff and found one caller in the form of Anthony Spinella to go heads-up to the flop of {Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Spinella then check-folded to Blumenthal's post-flop bet of 52,000.

A short time later, Blumenthal came in with a raise of 52,000 from early position, only to fold after Spinella reraised all-in from the small blind.

Anthony Spinella Eliminated in 6th Place ($66,199)

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Anthony Spinella - 6th Place
Anthony Spinella - 6th Place

Action folded to Anthony Spinella on the button. He put in a raise to 55,000 before it was Bryan Colin's turn to act. Colin was in the small blind and reraised to 150,000 even. After the reraise, Colin had exactly 421,000 behind. Jeff Papola was in the big blind and paused. He then asked Spinella how much he had behind. Spinella responded by telling him he had about 660,000 behind. Papola then paused for another few moments before announcing, "I'm all in."

Spinella was drawn back for a second, but then made the call and was all in. Now it was Colin who was drawn back by everything. "Wooooow!" he said, leaning back in his chair. Colin then tanked for a bit while mumbling, "I don't think I can fold this hand." Eventually, Colin did give it up and showed that he was laying down {J-}{J-}. A solid fold given how many chips he already put into the pot. Papola showed the {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, which Colin was ahead of, but his hunch was backed up when Spinella tabled the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for the best pair.

The flop came down {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Papola landed top set to take the lead. The turn brought the {5-Spades} and the river the {K-Diamonds}. Although he got his money in good, Spinella was out-flopped and hit the rail in sixth place. He took home $66,199 for his finish while Papola saw his stack grow to about three million. That's good enough for the chip lead.
