One hand of heads-up and we have a Harvey's Tahoe WSOPC champion. Dustin Fox made it $36k to go and Chris Ferguson bumped it to $90k pre-flop. Fox just called.

The flop came 2 7 10 and Ferguson checked it. Fox bet out $100k and the deliberate Ferguson spent some time considering the call. He made it and the flop came K.

Jesus checked again and this time Fox moved all-in. This had to be the quickest call Jesus made the entire tournament, felting pocket tens for the set. Fox had pocket aces and needed an ace on the river to prevent the rockets from being cracked. It was not to be though as the J river ended the local boy's dream of a hometown Circuit event win.

One hand and we have a champion - who would have believed it? Fox cashes $119,333 for second and the 2007 Harvey's Tahoe WSOPC championship event winner Chris Ferguson takes home $203,751 and his third WSOPC title.

We're now heads-up after Mark Bonsack shipped his stack over to Chris Ferguson. Unfortunately for Bonsack, the money went in with the Seattle-area general contractor drawing dead.

The hand played out with a Jesus pre-flop raise from the button and a Bonsack call. Bonsack checked the 7 6 J flop and called a $40k Ferguson raise. The J on the turn brought another check from Bonsack and this time Jesus made it $80k to go.

Bonsack wasted no time moving all-in. Ferguson, conversely, took his time but made the call, felting J Q for the money hand. Not only did he have trips, but the heart draw as well.

Bonsack stood around and watched the river with his A 4 but as you can see it made no difference. It was the 7 for those keeping score at home.

Bonsack melted under the hot lights and streaming Web cameras but still cashes $82,042 for third.

Next up, heads-up with the legend Chris Ferguson against local hero Dustin Fox.

Here are the counts as we begin three-handed play.

Seat 1	Chris Ferguson	$375,000
Seat 5	Dustin Fox	$567,000
Seat 7	Mark Bonsack	$335,000

 

Sylvester "Vesty" Geoghegan found a hand he liked and went with it. After a Dustin Fox pre-flop raise from the small blind of $36,000, Vesty pushed the last of his chips in from the big blind. Fox made the call right away, tabling J 9.

Geoghegan had Fox dominated with his Q 9, but nothing is a sure thing until the flop, turn and river have played out. The flop was a bad one for Vesty as the K J A gave Fox a pair, but Geoghegan had outs.

The 3 on the turn wasn't one of them and neither was the 2 on the river, sending Vesty to the rail in fourth. He'll pick up $56,955 for three days of sitting around and playing poker. Meanwhile, Fox's stack keeps growing.

Mark Bonsack just took down a nice pot courtesy of some well-timed pre-flop aggression. Dustin Fox got the action started with an opening raise to $36,000 from under the gun and after Sylvester Geoghegan folded his button, Bonsack announced raise from the small blind.

Taking his time counting out chips Mark eventually settled on a raise to $156,000 total. Chris Ferguson got out of the way in the big blind and Fox went into the tank for a few minutes before eventually folding. Bonsack showed A-9 off-suit as he raked the pot.

Mark Bonsack pulled the old squeeze play on Dustin Fox and Chris Ferguson a moment ago. Ferguson made it $32k to go from the button and Fox flat-called. Sylvester Geoghegan stepped out of the way and Bonsack stepped in - pushing all-in.

Ferguson quickly laid it down as did Fox and Bonsack raked a decent pot without seeing a flop, turn or river.

 

It seems like the four remaining players are a bit sluggish, perhaps from a sumptuous dinner eaten at one of the many wonderful restaurants this Harrah's property has to offer.* Few pots are developing and those that are have been quickly taken down.

*Shameless Harrah's plug, in hopes of comps for PL.com.

Chris Ferguson has taken down the first pot since returning from the dinner break. He made a standard raise from under the gun and the rest of the table got out of the way.

The dinner break is over and the four remaining players are back in their seats. We broke for dinner just a few minutes into Level 15 and there is still one hour and seven minutes left on the clock before the blinds go up. Shuffle up and deal!

It's time for dinner folks and the PL.com crew needs a nap so we'll see you back here in an hour and a half. That's 8 p.m. on the West Coast for all you math-challenged types.

Later dudes!
