Jennifer Tilly was also eliminated in level 3 when she moved all-in on the flop with Q-J for an open-ended straight draw and her opponent called her down with pocket aces. Tilly did not improve on the board and that was the end of her run at this year’s main Event. In a three—handed pot and on a flop of A www.PokerStars.com team member, Jason Alexander limped into a pot and Phil Gordon checked his option in the big blind. The flop came 10-3-2, and Gordon bet out. Alexander raised and Gordon called. The turn brought another 10 and this time Phil bet out and Alexander just called. The river brought a 5 and Alexander gets the rest of his money in the pot. Gordon pays him off with trip tens, but it wouldn’t come without a little trash talk from the pro when he saw Alexander turn over pocket fives for a full house in the river. Needless to say, Gordon was pissed and Alexander was delighted, but everyone was laughing again soon enough. Darrell Dicken was the next pro to catch a horrible beat on the river. On a flop of Q J.C. Tran was finding a little more luck in the deck and doubled up from the short-stack during Level 3. Tran got it all in pre-flop with A-Q against an opponent’s pair of sixes. Tran hit an ace on the turn and managed to double the size of his stack heading into dinner. On a flop of A Notable Chip Counts

Hour Two RecapJun 15, '07 The second level of this final table was absolutely crazy. In the last hour there have been seven eliminations and the action is now heads up between James Mackey and Stuart Fox. The play this level was almost all preflop, with less than five flops on hands that didn't eliminate a player.

The two remaining players are on a short break while tournament officials place the money on the table and get the bracelet ready. Play will resume shortly.The order of eliminations are: 9th Place - Mike Gracz ($43,684) 8th Place - John "Tex" Barch ($60,254) 7th Place - Jan Sorenson ($81,343) 6th Place - Nick Schulman ($108,457) 5th Place - Karga Holt ($140,091) 4th Place - Will McMahon ($194,319) 3rd Place - Michael Binger ($295,245) James Mackey will return from the break as the dominant chip leader. Mackey has a 12:1 chip advantage coming into heads up play, with $5,900,000 up against $495,000 helf by Stuart Fox. Fox came into the final table fourth in chips and has only played one hand all day. Fox has been able to sneak in the back door into at least second place by watching his companions battle all day. There are approximately two hands remaining in the 20th level and after that the blinds will rise to $30,000-$60,000 with a $5,000 ante. There will be $100,000 of dead money in each hand in the 21st level which means Fox will be forced to make a move soon.
