Tyler Patterson has become our ninth-place finisher, courtesy of David Pham. It was all-in preflop in the big blind for Patterson, with his three-bet shove getting a call from Pham in early position.
Patterson's was in front of Pham's , but it didn't stay that way as a board was spread across the felt.
For his efforts, Patterson goes home with $45,087 and a second World Series of Poker final table on his resume.
David Pham was under the gun when he opened up the pot to 75,000. Theo Tran called in the hijack and a flop was dealt. Both players checked here and a was dealt on the turn. Pham bet 90,000 and Tran called. The river would see both players check Tran would table his , enough to rake in the pot.
The last hand of Jeffrey Manza's tournament played out over several minutes and this is how it went down. Dung Nguyen opened it up to 70,000 preflop and Jeffrey Manza three-bet in the small blind. Nguyen contemplated the call as Manza said, "You know, folding is an option." Not for Nguyen though, as he made the call and the dealer readied three cards.
Flop:
Manza led for 150,000 here and Nguyen raised it to 350,000. Manza then made it 550,000 to go. As Nguyen thought what to do, Manza said, "Are you going to double me up?" Nguyen then moved all-in, putting Manza to a decision.
"If you weren't so bad i wouldn't even be thinking about calling," said Manza as he thought hard. Eventually he decided to make the call and was at risk with his behind Nguyen's . The turn and river changed nothing and it was all over in eighth place for Manza.
Blair Hinkle just got his remaining chips in the middle of the felt during a hand with Dung Nguyen.
In the hand, Nguyen and Hinkle took to a felt and it was at this point that Hinkle got his stack all in. Henklie held and Nguyen held . Hinkle was already in front, but the turn sealed the deal as the meaningless river changed nothing and Hinkle took down the double.
Zachary Korik had his short stack all-in preflop holding against the of Blair Hinkle. By the time the queen on the turn of a board had been dealt, it was all over for Korik in seventh place.
With that, we are down to six players and each remaining player is guaranteed a six-figure payday.
Blair Hinkle's rail is getting pretty excited. And when we say "rail", we really mean one rowdy friend. Every time Hinkle rakes in a pot, no matter how small, his rail of one screams, "Oh yeah!" and does a weird little dance. We can't even imagine what will happen if Hinkle manages to win this event.
