Gould Doubles Up

[user75032]
[user75032]
We've had our first significant hand of the final table. Charles Furey opened the action from under the gun for 53,000. He was carefully called by big blind Peter Gould for a flop of {8-Hearts} {J-Spades} {3-Clubs}.

Gould checked the action over to Furey, who followed his preflop raise with a bet of 103,000. Gould quietly announced a raise to 303,000. That prompt Furey to move all in; Gould snap-called all in for 627,000 total with {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}, a set of eights. Furey turned over top pair, {Q-Clubs} {J-Clubs}, and never improved.

Furey is down to 405,000; Gould is up to about 1.3 million.

Small Pot To Teach

Ken Aldridge raised from second position and found callers from Charles Furey on the button and Bryce Yockey in the BB. The flop came {6-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {6-Spades} before Aldridge continued with a 78,000 bet that only Furey called. Both players were happy to check the {3-Hearts} turn and {Q-Spades} river. Aldridge's {5-?} {5-?} good enough to take the small pot over Furey's {A-?} {K-?} .

As we're down to 7 handed all players have been moved to the feature table where we will play to six-handed before we reach our official WSOP Final Table. There will be a short break while everyone relocates and sets up.

Bryn Kenney Eliminated in 8th Place ($42,320)

Well, that didn't take long. Within the first ten minutes of play, we found our eighth-place finisher. Bryn Kenney opened from the small blind with a raise to 43,000 that Carman Cavella re-raised to 115,000. Kenny quickly put his stack into the middle and Cavella just as quickly called.

Kenney: {A-Spades} {9-Diamonds}
Cavella: {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}

The board rolled out {Q-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} to end Kenney's day barely before it had begun.

"What could I do man?" asked Cavella as Kenney shook his hand. "I can't fold it." Indeed. With that elimination, the tounament is on a break to re-draw to one seven-handed table and move onto the feature table.

Six-Handed Final Set to Begin

Can Furey bring it home?
Can Furey bring it home?
It's Day 3 for eight remaining players in Event #9 - $1,500 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em. Day 2 saw 105 pretenders play down over he course of fourteen hours into eight contenders. Each of them is looking to take home the $428,000 first prize and a WSOP gold bracelet.

When Rule 96 was invoked at 3am last night, play was four-handed on two separate tables and Charles Furey had the chip lead with almost 1.7 million chips. Today we'll play until there's one further elimination, then collapse to a seven-handed final table and redraw for seats.

Action is underway in twenty minutes. We'll have a new bracelet winner a few hours after that. PokerNews will have all the action in between. See you then!
