Dinner Bell

Our eight finalists have retired for a one-hour dinner break. We're going to go get you some hard chip counts before heading off to the poker kitchen.

Play will resume just after 8:30 p.m. local time.

Four Ways to the Flop!

Peter Gilmore
Peter Gilmore

James Carroll made it 75,000 to play from early position, and he was called by Jeff Williams (cutoff), Samuel Trickett (button), and Peter Gilmore (big blind). After all that whining about not seeing flops... just like that, we've got our first four-way flop of the day!

It came out {9-Spades} {10-Hearts} {7-Hearts}, and Gilmore responded to that by moving all in for his full stack of 552,000 chips. That sent Carroll deep into the think tank, and he asked for a count of Gilmore's stack about halfway through his deliberation. Eventually, he released his cards. Williams made a reluctant looking fold himself, and Trickett insta-mucked to give the pot to Gilmore.

Just for good measure, the winner flashed {8-Spades} {6-Clubs} as he was pushed the pot, and his flopped straight has earned him a chip boost to about 900,000.

If You're Checking, DeWitt is Betting

James Carroll raised to 75,000 from the hijack seat, and Jason DeWitt was the only caller, matching the bet from the button to see a heads-up flop.

It rolled out {3-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}, and Carroll checked before calling a bet of 100,000 from DeWitt.

The turn came the {6-Spades}, and Carroll knocked the table again. DeWitt bet again, 215,000 this time, and that was good enough to take it down.

DeWitt - 2.45 million
Carroll - 1.91 million

A Flop!

Jason DeWitt raised to 75,000 under the gun, and Jeff Williams flat-called in the big blind. Barring some funny stuff from big blind James Carroll, we'd have our first flop in ten hands. Carroll folded, and the dealer remembered how to run out a flop of {5-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}. Both players checked.

The turn came the {8-Spades}, and Williams' 90,000-chip stab was enough to buy him the pot without contest.
