Hand #19 - Barny Boatman

Peter Rho has the button in Seat 6. Barny Boatman raises to 64,000 and Sam Capra asks the dealer to pull in the blind. Capra decides to call and the flop comes {8-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}. Capra checks to Boatman who quickly slides in 100,000. Capra calls and the {7-Diamonds} falls on the turn and both players check. The {10-Hearts} hits the river and Capra leads out for 115,000. Boatman goes into the tank for about three minutes before making the call. Capra immediately mucks his hand as Boatman turns over {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}.

Boatman has increased his chip count to around 780,000.

Hand #18 - Barny Boatman

Stewart Scott has the button in Seat 5. Barny Boatman is the first person to enter the pot. He counts out a raise to 63,000 and puts it across the betting line. Everyone else folds.

Hand #17 - Stewart Scott

Richard Ashby has the button in Seat 4. Zach Gruneberg raises to 55,000 and action folds to Stewart Scott in the small blind. He caps his cards and reraises to 137,000. Peter Rho folds from the big blind and Gruneberg throws his hand away too.

Hand #15 - Stewart Scott

Barny Boatman has the button in Seat 2. Stewart Scott opens to 60,000 under the gun and Peter Rho is the only caller. The flop comes {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {A-Spades} and Scott leads out for 100,000. Rho quicky throws his hand away as Scott takes in his first pot of the final table.

Players Settling In

We're fourteen hands into the final table. The players, as to be expected, are cautiously feeling each other out. The one big pot that developed turned into a chop by the river. One thing that we've seen so far is that Stewart Scott is either not getting anything in the way of playable cards or is feeling a bit "tight" this morning. He tried one or two early raises that were unsuccessful and has not yet won a hand today.

Hand #14 - Sam Capra

Zach Gruneberg has the button in Seat 1. Sam Capra opens the pot with a raise to 60,000. Action passes to Elliot Smith in the big blind. He calls.

The flop comes down {10-Hearts} {4-Spades} {6-Hearts}. Smith quickly checks to Capra, who makes it 60,000 to go. Smith must not like the flop; he folds his hand, allowing Capra to take down a small pot.

Hand #13 - Barny Boatman

Sam Capra has the button in Seat 8. Action folds to Zach Gruneberg in the small blind. He calls and Barny Boatman checks. The flop comes {5-Hearts} {8-Spades} {4-Hearts} and both players check. The turn is the {10-Clubs} and Gruneberg bets 30,000. Boatman pops it to 100,000 and Gruneberg quickly lets go of his hand.

Hand #12 - Rajkumar Ramakrishnan

Rajkumar Ramakrishnan
Rajkumar Ramakrishnan
Rajkumar Ramakrishnan has the button in Seat 7. Action passes all the way to Ramakrishnan, who limps into the pot. Capra completes his small blind, but Gruneberg doesn't let them get in that cheaply. He raises to 104,000. Only Ramakrishnan calls.

{j-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} is the flop. Gruneberg wastes no time in betting 100,000. Each of his actions so far today has been quick and decisive. Ramakrishnan acts just as quickly, coming over the top to 400,000. Gruneberg has his first big decision of the day and finally slows down to think it through. He releases his hand after thirty seconds. Ramakrishnan takes down a nice pot.
