Ping Liu opened the action to 4,000 and a very short stacked Anthony Harb decided his hand was good enough to risk not making the money. He moved all in for 8,600. Liu knew he was behind but Harb's raise was not enough to get him to fold. The two waited an agonizing 5 minutes as the tournament staff waited until they had all at risk players determined. The hands were already known as the players had shown them - for Liu and for Harb. Finally the go ahead was given and the dealer was instructed to put out the flop.
It came to give Liu a set of fives and a dejected Harb knew he would need a minor miracle to stay alive. The turn was a miracle, but not one that Harb wanted as it was the last five in the deck to give Liu quads. The river was a meaningless and Harb stood around to see if any other players were eliminated.
The second all in situation occurred over in the Tan section where Hans Winzeler raised to 2,500 pre flop and called a 6,000 three-bet from Jeff Dumas. On the flop, Dumas checked, Winzeler bet 8,000 and Dumas moved all in for an additional 15,000. Winzeler called and the hands were revealed after the aforementioned delay:
Winzeler:
Dumas:
The turn changed nothing but the river delivered the flush for Winzeler. Dumas and Harb would split the 819th place prize money, for $1,346 apiece. Harb, a 2009 WSOP bracelet winner, will have to come back another day to make a run at his 2nd piece of jewelry.
We are officially in the money here at the Millionaire Maker. Two players were eliminated and will split the minimum cash equally. We'll have details of the two hands shortly.
We've been informed that Greg Mueller made a big fold a few moments ago when his opponent four-bet all-in. Mueller was left with a decision for his tournament life, and it was a tough one because he held the third best starting hand in hold'em in pocket queens.
Mueller opted to look for a better spot to get his chips into the middle and folded.
A trio of big names are looking comfortable here on the money bubble. Jason Wheeler is sat with 78,000 and Dan O'Brien 81,000. Add both Wheeler's and O'Brien's stack together and it still comes up short against Seidman's mammoth 210,000.
Some assorted chip counts from the purple section. Amit Makhija (10,000) and Loren Klein (13,000) are both short and share the same table. Andrew Lichtenberger is around 55,000 in chips.
Scott O'Reilly opened to 2,600 from middle position and faced some resistance from the big blind who defended with a call.
The pair watched on as the dealer spread the flop and O'Reilly fired a continuation bet of 3,100 when the big blind checked to him. Both players sat riffling chips for 45 seconds before a check-raise of 7,200 from the big blind gave OReilly something to think about.
O'Reilly called and the came into view on the turn. Both players checked, which is what looked like would happen when the landed on the river, but when the action was checked to O'Reilly he bet 8,100 and his opponent folded.
Matthias de Meulder raised to 2,500 and was called by the small blind. On the flop the Belgian continued for 3,200 and was check-called before betting the turn and successfully scaring off his opponent.
Rhys Jones emptied his clip on a board by raising preflop to 2,500, betting the flop for 2,700, the turn for 6,800 and eventually putting in 16,200 after the final community card was dealt. He had about 14,000 behind and the opponent mucked his cards.
