The Main event action has ended for the night. The official chipcount will be forthcoming.

The Final Table is set.
Fred Goldberg exits the tournament in 10^th place. He may not be playng at the Final table on Thursday, but I hope he’s extremely proud of his hard work and efforts to make it to 10^th place.
Fred Golberg takes his chances and pushes all-in for 2.8 million. Richard Lee calls, and turns over Kc Ks. Goldberg has Qh 3s. The board comes 9h 7h 7c Js 8c. This brings no help to Goldberg, and he is eliminated in 10^th place. His winnings are $1,154,527, and that ain’t chicken feed folks. An Excellent game for Goldberg!

	Fred Goldberg holds on til 10th place

Bump it up and play a little higher. The ante is 20K with 80K / 160K blinds.

The players are on a short break.

Updated chip count:

Jamie Gold limped from early position. Paul Wasicka and Michael Binger limp in as well. Doug Kim checked his big blind. The flop came the Kd Qd 9d. Checked to Gold, he bet 300K. Kim gave him the call. The turn came th 4c. Now, heads up, they both check. The river came the Js. Kim checked to Gold and he bet 800K. Kim did call and showed the K 8 for the win. Woooo hooo…. Wonder what Gold had????

Allen Cunningham scores some chips when he calls into the hand, UTG. Richard Lee calls from the cut-off, Paul Wasicka calls on the SB and Dan Nassif checks his BB option. The flop comes 7s 4c 3s. It gets checked to Cunningham, who bets 700K. The whole table folds to Cunningham, and he scoops the pot.

Allen Cunningham limped from middle position. Jamie Gold limps from late. Richard Lee joins in the limping and does as well from the button. Erik Friberg put in half a bet from the small and Paul Wasicka merely checked his option from the big. The flop brought the Js 9h 7d. Checked by all these aggressive guys. The turn came the 8d. Checked around to Gold and he was done with all this checking business and fired 700K at the pot. Whoosh…..all the cards flew to the muck and Gold slammed another.

Doug Kim raised to 360K. Erik Friberg gave him the call from the big blind. Heads up, the flop came the Jc 9c 7d. Checked by both. The turn came the 3h. Checked once again. The 8d hit the river. Checked. Kim showed the Q J for top pair and Friberg an Ace only. Kim takes one down.

Gold continues to hammer his opponents. Erik Friberg called from early position. Gold called the half bet from the small and Rhett Butler checked his option from the big blind. The flop came the Kh 4c 3h. Gold and Butler checked but Friberg made it 300K to play. Gold came over the top for a check raise to 900K. Cant do it, Butler and Firberg muck and give the pot to Gold.

Out of late position, Doug Kim bet 360K. Jamie Gold called him from the small blind. The flop brought the Ah Tc 8s. Checked by both. The turn came the Jh. Gold made it 800K this time and Doug gave him the call. The river came the Ts. Checked by both. Gold showed the Ac Jc and Kim mucked. Gold took another nice one.

Play it again Fred. Dan Nassif limped from middle position and Allen Cunningham gave a call as well. Michael Binger limped from the cutoff. Fred Goldberg called half a bet from the small blind and Jamie Gold checked his option (stop the clock…..can you believe that???) The flop came the 7d 4c 2h. Goldberg moved all in once again. Gold tried to much and exposed his powerful Jd 7c. No one made the call and Goldberg took the pot while he showed his 7s 4s for two pair.
