Ron Koenemann makes it $18,000 to go and Samuel Shamburg moves all-in. Koenemann calls almost immediately and flips over 8 6. Koenemann meanwhile shows 10 10.

The flops comes A-Q-7... with two clubs. Koenemann completes his flush on the turn when it comes J and the river falls Q. Koenemann rakes the pot and is up to approximately $80,000.

We've finally reached Level 13 and perhaps with blinds of $3,000/$6,000 and a $500 ante we'll start to see some action.

We're not seeing many flops and so far Michael Martin, Keith Murrell and Ben Hock have all picked up minor pots. With 15 minutes left in the level we may have to wait until Level 13 to see some real action.

After a 30-minute delay to get the TV cameras rolling we are finally under way from the Horseshoe Council Bluffs. Only one player will be walking away with the coveted WSOPC ring.

Game on!

The biggest final table of the year is finally upon us. Ok, maybe not, but nine combatants have reconvened at Horseshoe Council Bluffs and will battle it out until one of them is WSOPC champ for this region.
