Status of day 6 WSOP 2009 Main Event heading into the dinner break your chip leader is Darvin Moon with 5.7million in chips. There are only 101 players left in the running. The names which jump off the page at me are: Eugene Katchalov, Jeff Shulman, Phil Ivey (2.68), Ludovic Lacay, Antonio Esfandiari, Dennis Phillips (2.2), Tom Schneider, Peter Eastgate, Blair Rodman, Matt Affleck, Joe Sebok and Kenny Tran.
Bustouts on the day so far: David Benyamine, Joe Hachem, JC Tran, Bertrand 'LkY' Grospellier, Eric Cloutier, Blair Hinkle Nasr, El Nasr, and Joe Serock.
Guaranteed payout at this point is $40,288. Meanwhile that top spot looms off in the distance at $8,546,435. There's still a lot of star power left in this one. I'm excited over the action, stay tuned!

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.

WSOP 2008 Final Table ...spoiler alert...
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

Shamus' Interview of Dennis Phillips
I urge you all to head over to http://hardboiledpoker.blogspot.com/2008/10/hard-boiled-poker-interview-dennis.html immediately! If you can't tell from the link, Shamus interviews Dennis Phillips who is the chip leader of the November Nine of the Main Event of the World Series of Poker. Once again Shamus delivers top notch reporting of the poker kind. Actually I'm plugging it because he included a couple of my questions in his interview of Phillips! How cool is that!?! "It's Shake 'n Bake... and I helped."
But seriously, the interview is great and further solidifies why I'll be rooting for Phillips to walk away with the WSOP bracelet, $9+ million, and the admiration (and a tinge of jealousy) of the poker world. I wish him continued success!
And as always Shamus, thanks for the fantastic job that you do!
