Table 7: Raye Puckett Advances to the Final Table

Raye Puckett raises from the button/small blind to 12,000, and Gerald Rhoads calls. The flop comes {J-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}, Rhoads checks, Puckett bets 6,000, and Rhoads calls. The turn card is the {10-Hearts}, Puckett checks, Rhoads bets 12,000, Puckett raises to 24,000, Rhoads reraises to 36,000, Puckett reraises to 48,000 ... and soon Rhoads is all in.

Rhoads shows {J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for two pair, jacks and fours, and Puckett shows {4-Hearts}{4-Spades} for a set of fours. Rhoads needs to catch a jack on the river (two outs) to survive with a higher full house.

The river card is the {7-Diamonds}, and Raye Pucket wins the pot -- and the table -- with a set of fours.

Gerald Rhoads is eliminated in 11th place, earning $6,634.

Raye Puckett advances to tonight's final table, scheduled to begin at 8:00 pm PDT.
