Completely in line with our estimates that this final table would last between six and eight hours, the last hour got us that much closer to a winner. Three more eliminations came in the form of two Wongs and one De Niro (no relation).

Jean Robert Bellande is steamrolling the remaining players and it looks like it's only a matter of time before he seals the deal. He is now playing heads up against Matt Graham for all the tea.

Earlier in the day Graham mentioned how happy he was to make a final table and he couldn't believe it was in the last possible event before the Main. Now he sits with a large chip deficit, but a real chance of taking down his first bracelet at his first WSOP final table. These guys have half an hour to end it within the eight hour time frame PL.com has given them, not a bad day at the office.

Wong Out In Fifth

Jean Robert Bellande raised preflop and Wong came along. The A 6 5 came out on the flop and Bellande check-called Wong. The turn was a 6 and the action repeated itself. The river was the 6 and Bellande chose to fire.

Wong called and was shown Bellande's A 8. He will earn $33,701 for his efforts.

Wong Out In Fourth

Brandon Wong was eliminated when he called a raise from Joe De Niro preflop. Matt Graham elected to call as well and the three saw a flop of 2 8 T. Graham bet the flop and Wong called all in.

Wong showed A 2 while Graham countered with his 8 9. The turn and river were bricks and Wong was gone! The prize money is starting to look a little more substantial - Wong won $69,088 for fourth place.

De Niro Fockered

Joe De Niro was the first player in this event to break into the six figure payout mark. On a flop of J 8 T De Niro bet the last of his chips and Bellande called. De Niro tabled J 9 against Bellande's A 9.

De Niro had a real chance to double up, but a T on the turn followed by a heart breaking A on the river left De Niro heading for the cashier to collect his $107,845.

We've lost two more players this past level, leaving us with just five bracelet-seekers going forward. Bobby Bellande is the chip leader at the moment so read on for details on those two exits as well as the updated counts.

Lawrence Arabia’d (Sixth)

Spencer Lawrence was shortstacked and got himself all-in before the flop against Jean-Robert Bellande. A 9 for Bellande had a slight edge over Lawrence’s K T and after the board ran 9 6 3 2 Q JR’s pair of nines was good for the pot and the elimination. Lawrence will take $20,221.

Kranyak Sacked (Seventh)

Former world champion Bridge player John Kranyak has been eliminated. He got his hands on chips early in this match but took some damage before playing what turned out to be his final hand. He Joe De Niro got into a raising war and capped the betting pre-flop.

The flop came down 9 4 3 and Kranyak bet out. De Niro called and the turn was the A. Kranyak fired but this time De Niro raised. They ended up capping this street as well which left Kranyak all-in going to the river.

Kranyak tabled A J which was in terrible shape against De Niro’s A Q. The Q on the river made it official and John Kranyak gets up to go. He’ll take $13,480 for his finish. We spoke to Kranyak earlier and he said this was basically the first time he’d played Limit Hold’em. Not a bad finish all thing considered.
