Final Table continues... "spoiler alert"

After I logged off and then headed to bed, the remaining six players at the Final Table of the WSOP Main Event returned to "play-on." Before the action got underway again Dewey Tomko and Henry Orenstein were inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame. Following these ceremonies the cards were back in the air and blinds at 250,000-500,000 with a 50,000 ante.

The action continued on until Hand #105 when Darus Suharto was eliminated in 6th Place ($2,418,562) when he tangles with Scott Montgomery for all the marbles. His A8os is dominated by Montgomery's AQos, but it's even worse when Montgomery hits the nut flush on the turn, and sends Suharto to the rail.

Following that the chip counts were now at:

Dennis Phillips: 20,275,000
Ylon Schwartz: 19,375,000
Scott Montgomery: 32,700,000
Ivan Demidov: 26,350,000
Peter Eastgate: 37,525,000

Then after a devastating hand (#114) Scott Montgomery was dropped to just over 7 Million in chips when he tangled with Ivan Demidov. Montgomery held A9s but never improved to Demidov's wired Kings. A few short hands later on hand #119 - Scott Montgomery was eliminated in 5th Place ($3,096,768.)

After that the action broke briefly and chip counts were updated:

Dennis Phillips: 17,325,000
Ylon Schwartz: 22,175,000
Ivan Demidov: 49,100,000
Peter Eastgate: 47,625,000

On hand #155 Ylon Schwartz was eliminated in 4th Place ($3,774,974.)

And then... on Hand #169 Dennis Phillips... my "boy" was taken down and out in 3rd place. He held 9-10os against Eastgate's wired pocket 3's. When the flop brought the 3... well it was over. He takes home $4,517,773! It was a fantastic run... and after the bounce back early on Day 1... I was hopeful that he would go all the way. But it wasn't to be.

The remaining players, Ivan Demidov and Peter Eastgate return tonight at 10:00pm to finish this thing once and for all. Demidov holds the chip lead with 79,500,000, to Peter Eastgate - 57,725,000. Only time will tell.
