Event 51 - The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse 1 year ago

There's the sounds of leathery hooves beating down on the poker table as our field has been reduced to a final 4 players vying for the bracelet.

Here's the news of the unlucky two whose dreams of bracelets have died a death.

No Gold For Silverman (OUT - 6th)

In the Hold'Em section Silverman raised from middle position, onyl to find Jason Dollinger re-raising to isolate from the small blind. He called all-in and the players exposed their cards.

With pocket Threes, Silverman was hoping for a race, but his hopes were dashed by Dolliger showing down pocket Sevens.

A board devoid of threes or sevens transpired and once that river had been dealt, Silverman found himself with the worst hand meaning we lose Sam Silverman, out in 6th spot, winning $42,966.

No Bollinger For Dollinger(OUT - 5th)

Jason Dollinger may have been buoyed by that last hand but his tournament was about to take a turn for the worse in the Stud high portion.

He completed showing the Kc, only to find Tommy Hang raising with the 9c. Dollinger re-raised and Hang called.

After betting the 4c on fourth when Hang picked up the 7c and Kh on fifth (As for Hang) , he found Hang raising him all-in which must have been a little worrying given his Kings were showing.

He called though, tabling a good hand of Kings and Fours, although it was no match for Dollinger's trip sevens as he had two of them in the hole.

He only had the four outs to win then and after blanking on 6th, the 7th street Js that he was finally dealt was no good, meaning Jason Dollinger will have to save the champagne on ice for another time, as he is eliminated, OUT in 5th spot, winning $54,804.

Here are the chip counts, courtesy of worldseriesofpoker.com, showing Hang and Schaaf clear out in front at this moment in time as the race for the bracelet quickens pace.

Event 51 - Player Down! 1 year ago

We have lost our first player after dinner and it's the shortstacked Matt Grapenthien who has fallen.

Here's how the action unfolded!

Matt Finish (OUT - 8th)

Matt limped in, in position, and Tommy Hang completed. Victor Ramdin checks the big blind.

The flop falls As Kd Qs and a series of checks ensues.

The turn is the Ad and checked to Grapenthien he bets. Hang raises and he calls all-in.

Hang shows K-K-8-2 for a full house and Grapenthien 3-6-J-A for trips and a low draw. The river Ts gave Grapenthien a straight but it was no good meaning Matt Grapenthien is OUT, eliminated in 8th spot, winning $27,511.

To The Victor The Spoils!

Victo Ramdin was another player fighting for his life and he managed to get a double through in the razz, runninig his 6-8-3 against Schaaf's 5-4-A.

He looked in bad shape as Schaaf caught an 8 on the turn, whilst Ramdin caught a ten.

Amazingly though he caught running cards to make a 9 low whilst Schaaf could only make a ten low once he paired up on the river.

Very necessary double through for Ramdin there and he received much celebratory cheering from the rail as he raked in the pot.

Incidentally the rail is chock full of star faces, Dario Minieri, Joe Hachem, Isabelle Mercier and Bill Chen amongst the well known faces to be sweating this final table.

Victor Vanquished (OUT - 7th)

Victor's luck didn't hold however as he played the Stud completing with nines in the hole for his entire stack. He was looked up by Schaff again and this time, he was less plucky against him, losing out as Schaff made a winning pair of Tens on fifth.

Victor Ramdin is OUT, eliminated in 7th spot, winning $32,992.
