Easy n Dirty Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 The final table of 9 players is underway, if you're interested you can follow fairly up-to-the-minute updates right here. The first 20 hands have been quite eventful - Phillip Hilm, who came in to the day as the chip leader with 22m, has already been eliminated in 9th place. Jerry Yang, who came in 8th in chips at 8.45m, now leads with over 44m - more than a third of the chips in play. Here's the hand where Hilm went out, with a questionable play to say the least: Hand #15 - Tuan Lam has the button in seat 6, Jerry Yang raises from late position to 1 million, and Philip Hilm thinks for about a minute before he calls from the small blind. The flop comes Kd, Jd, 5c, Hilm checks, Yang bets 2 million, and Hilm thinks for about 30 seconds before he calls. The turn card is the 2h, Hilm checks, Yang bets 4 million, Hilm moves all in, and the crowd applauds as many of them rise to their feet. Now it's Jerry Yang's turn to sweat a big decision. But he only thinks for about 30 seconds before he calls with Ad Ks for top pair, top kicker. Hilm shows 8d 5d for a pair of fives with a flush draw. Hilm needs to improve to stay alive. The crowd is shocked, but pleased to see an all-in situation. Moments before the river card is dealt, everyone falls silent. The river card is the 6c, and there is a smattering of applause as Jerry Yang wins the pot with a pair of kings. Philip Hilm is eliminated in ninth place, earning $525,934. The next player eliminated will receive $585,699 for eighth place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budlitebrad Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Watching it online. Yang just knocked out Childs in a pretty ridiculous hand. Yang is taking a big lead early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 4 left still. Yang is looking a little shaky. Down to 47 million, with the short stack only at about 21 million. This one will go well into the morning at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
