There are only four players remaining, and we've only been playing for 45 minutes. Despite the blinds being relatively low, the players are going for it all early, and as a result we've lost 5 players. The action should slow considerably in the next hour, but these final table participants are trying to set a record.

On a board of Q 6 2 3, Gerald Silber pushes all in for his last $14,000. Boris Muchnik thinks for awhile before calling with 8 9. Gerald has been caught with his 10 3 and Boris can catch any Eight, Nine or Spade to take the pot. The river is the 7 and Silber is our 5th place finisher.

The Boich family is doing well, with back to back final tables. Yesterday, Wayne Boich final tabled Event #6. Today, Emeline Boich, his wife, is also at the final table. We'll see which Boich finishes higher.
Eugene Todd Eliminated 8th Place ($3,640)
Posted: Mon, Jun 18, 07, 9:12 AM
Eugene Todd is all in with A K against Kush Patel's 6 6. The board comes J 9 8 Q 4, and Eugene Todd is our 8th place finisher. Kush Patel increases his chip lead, but Eugene isn't too upset with his finish. For some reason, Todd decided to play in the Noon event at the Rio, and managed to build his stack up over $15,000. So, he's out the door to the valet with friend Chris "The Armenian Express" Grigorian, so he can catch his stack before he is blinded off.

Posted: Mon, Jun 18, 07, 9:07 AM
A short-stacked Paul Stanchewski pushes all in for his last $6,500. Kyle Carlston pushes all in over the top for his last $10,900. Kush Patel thinks for awhile before folding his small blind. Stanchewski shows K 10 but is dominated by Carlston's K Q. The board comes 6 4 3 J 7, and Paul Stanchewski is our ninth place finisher. After the hand, Carlston is up to $19,000 in chips.
