One more player fell during the last hour at the Stud table. Jesus has expanded his chip lead and has over $1,000,000. 

Duke Lorded Over

Ever since Steve Sung got eliminated, Annie Duke has been heading in the wrong direction. She decided to go up against Chris Ferguson. Ferguson made trip sixes and Duke failed to miss a low draw. Jesus rose to over $1,000,000 in chips and if things keep going his way, Ferguson might have another bracelet in his collection before the stroke of midnight.

Bobbing To The Top

Bob Lauria is making a run at it. Isaia, Ruthenberg, and all paid the bring in and the three hung in until fifth street. Isaia folded to a bet from Ruthenberg on sixth street but Lauria wanted one more card. Lauria had an open pair of tens against Ruthenberg's showing pair of aces. Even though Lauria made a flush on seventh street Lauria erred on the side of caution in case Ruthenberg held a boat. He didn't and Lauria dragged the whole pot.

Alessio Is-aia Out

Alessio Isaia was on life support and picked a hand to go with against Sebastian Ruthenberg. Isaia was all in on fifth street with a low but Ruthenberg had a better one. Neither had a pair so Isaia was still very much alive. Ruthenberg snagged an ace on the turn to make a pair of aces and Isaia was down to four outs to hit a gutshot. He flipped over his seventh street card but it was a blank and Isaia was off to the payout line to collect his $58,268.

The Seven Card H/L is going at a much more rapid pace than anticipated. Two eliminations occurred during the last level (more on those later). Marcel Luske was down to the felt a few times but battled his way back to the middle of the pack.

Chris Ferguson has moved up to the top of the leader board. He is taking his usual sweet time on every decision but it seems to be paying off. Chips are funneling in Ferguson's direction and Luske and Ruthenberg are picking up the scraps.

Luske Resurrected

After getting off to a rocky start and losing a large percentage of his chips, Marcel Luske has managed to fight his way back to the middle of the pack. After his first double up against Chris Ferguson, Luske kept his momentum going. A few minutes later he took down half of a threeway pot that had Luske and Ferguson splitting up Bob Beveridge's chips. Just a few hands after that Luske prevailed against Sebastian Ruthenberg - for the whole pot that time. Luske is back in business with almost $300,000.

Flat Beveridge

Marcel Luske continued his rampage by knocking out Bob Beveridge. Beveridge was wounded and very low on chips when Luske came after him. Beveridge got the last of his chips in on third street with Luske showing A-K-6 to Beveridge's A-2-5. Luske immediately took the lead by pairing up his five on fourth. Miraculously, by the end Luske's pair of fives was good enough to win the high pot. Beveridge had maded a low but Luske's was better! Bob Beveridge finished in eigth place and will take home $36,801 for his first WSOP Final Table appearance.

Steve Sunk

Steve Sung fell at the hands of Annie Duke. Sung had enough ammunition to make it to seventh street and he fired the whole way. We'll never know what he had because he mucked his hand immediately, but he had a pair of sevens in his 7-6-7-K upcards. Perhaps Sung had a 6-7 low to go along with his pair of sevens but Duke made a 6-4 low on seventh to go along with her pair of kings which was best hand. Sung will pocket $46,001 for seventh place.
