..goes out in 8th position $42,485 the richer. He started the day pretty short, but with some early aggressive play he maneuvered himself to the final table. I'm sure he's disappointed right now, but he had a great tourney.

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006 Jim raised heavy with Ace/Jack and cmd1226's was all-in with Pocket Kings (a hand which is cropping up very frequently today). An Ace showed-up to send cmd1226 into 10th place and $28,274!. Now we're down to the last 9...THE FINAL TABLE!
Jim has just come over to once again send a big thanks to all the folks back in Hamilton NZ and his parents in Taurange for all the great support. He's back up to 225.5k, about 1/6 of the overall chips. Chipleader is Stewart531 with 242K.

Sunday, December 3rd, 2006 berg5520 and Imper1um have bust out in 12th and 11th place respectively, both collecting a pay day of $21,242.50. berg had little choice but to move all-in with the shortest of stacks, and imper1um followed pushing in about 40k. Both called by Davidp18, whose pair of nines held up against berg's 7/9 and imper1um's 8/6 after the board came up 8/J/Q/3/4. One more to go, then we'll be moving to the final table!

Table 2 just delivered up a feast.  In the first hand Stewart531 small blind, RiverRoe0 was big blind and the action folds around to Berg55280 who raises to 20K.  Stewart raises all-in for around 119K, riverroe0 jumps clear and after some deliberation Berg55280 lets go of the 20K. The very next hand with Imper1um in the big blind Berg55280 pulls the same 20K raise and again Stewart531 raises all-in, Riverroe0, Imper1um and DeadBlind_ jump out of the way again and Berg55280 thinks for an age before calling.
Berg55280 shows pocket tens to Stewart531's Kings.  Stewart makes his set on the flop and Berg55280 is shipping 119K over to Stewart
