Yukon Represents!
2 years ago
"Yukon" Brad Booth is showing a little national solidarity in the Amazon Room this evening.
Booth has joined the flag waving Canadian contingent of Tuan Lam supporters in the crowd at the ESPN final table area displaying his own support for a fellow countryman.
Clad in a jacket full of product endorsement crests, Booth may be looking for a little camera time as well, but regardless of his motives the Canadians are growing stronger and getting louder.
David "Devilfish" Ulliott has even joined in on the Maple Leaf fun, although the Brit seems more interested in making time with the ladies in the group than discussing the fate of the commonwealth.
The always accomodating Canadians are pleased to have him anyway. There is strength in numbers and with a group of "Everybody Loves Raymond" t-shirt clad South Africans in the crowd rooting on Raymond Rahme, a gaggle of vodka swilling men draped in Russian flags behind Alex Kravchenko and any number of "USA, USA," chants everytime Jerry Yang drags a pot, the battle for who can be the loudest is as hotly contested as the action on the felt.
Right now the Canadians are by far the most spirited - mobbing Lam after he doubled up - But if Kravchenko's stack keeps growing it's anybody's game!

Action Update #5 for Main Event Final Table!
2 years ago
We've reached the end of Level 33 and the players will take a quick break. Here's the latest action from the final table:
Lam Takes a Hit
Jerry Yang raises to $2 million on the button and Tuan Lam makes the call in the small blind. The flop comes J
4 3 and Lam bets $3 million. Yang announces a raise and makes it $9 million to go. Lam gives the matter some heavy thought but after five minutes or so decides to lay it down, in the process surrendering a major chunk of his chip stack and putting himself on decidedly shaky ground going forward.
More Aggression from Yang
Alex Kravchenko raises to $1.4 million on the button and Jerry Yang re-raises to $5 million from the small blind. Tuan Lam gets out of the way in the big blind and Kravchenko is again put to a difficult decision. He thinks for a few minutes but lays the hand down, and Yang takes another reasonable pot by means of aggressive raising and re-raising.
Pot for Kravchenko
Alex Kravchenko, Tuan Lam and Raymond Rahme see a flop come T
6
3. Rahme bets out and Kravchenko makes the call while Lam gets out of the way. The turn is the 6
and both players check. The river is the K and both players check again. Rahme shows A-3 for a pair of treys while Kravchenko shows Q-10 for a pair of tens and takes down the pot.
Get updated chip counts right here. Action will resume in fifteen minutes.
