The November Nine returned to the Rio today at 10:00am PST. Play continues... According to the live coverage from PokerNews.com many of the hands/pots have ended before a flop is even seen. Positional play has really dominated things with late position players taking advantage of seeing what the others are going to do. In fact, it wasn't until the 13th hand of the night that a single community card was even seen by the table.
When things got underway here's how the chip stacks measured up:
Seat 1: Dennis Phillips (26,295,000)
Seat 2: Craig Marquis (10,210,000)
Seat 3: Ylon Schwartz (12,525,000)
Seat 4: Scott Montgomery (19,690,000)
Seat 5: Darus Suharto (12,520,000)
Seat 6: David Rheem (10,230,000)
Seat 7: Ivan Demidov (24,400,000)
Seat 8: Kelly Kim (2,620,000)
Seat 9: Peter Eastgate (18,375,000)
Here are some of the big moments thus far, as reported:
Dennis Phillips got tangled up with Ivan Demidov on Hand #18 which didn't make it to the Turn card, but did a lot of damage. The pot was raised and reraised with an All-In, which Phillips folded to. The pot catapulted Demidov to 35,875,000 in chips and Phillips down to under 9,000,000.
In Hand #52 Craig Marquis became the first casualty, when his pocket 7's ran into Scott Montgomery's AQos. An Ace fell on the flop, but so did another 7! Unfortunately along with that was a 10, and then the unthinkable happened and Montgomery caught runner-runner and hit the Broadway Straight! So Marquis heads for the rail with no additional money than he had than when he left the Rio before the break $900,670.
On the very next hand Kelly Kim who had been the extreme short-stack from the get go finally went out. He mucked his hand, when the other two remaining at showdown turned up hands which had him apparently dominated. Kim takes home $1,288,217 .
Hand #76 brought an end to David "Chino" Rheem's WSOP Main Event journey. Rheem got it in with the best of it with his AKos against Peter Eastgate's AQos, but a Queen dropped on the flop and that was all it took. Rheem heads for the rail with $1,772,650.
Hand #88 was the last before the players headed to their dinner break. They will get back to the action at 7:15pm PST. The "big" story seems to be Dennis Phillips who has clawed his way back from some earlier missteps and is back up to just under 27 Million in chips, which puts him right back into the thick of things.
Chip counts as of the break are:
Ivan Demidov 30725000
Peter Eastgate 27175000
Dennis Phillips 26950000
Ylon Schwartz 20475000
Scott Montgomery 20300000
Darus Suharto 10600000
