We are down to the final 6 players at the WPT Legends of Poker 2007 here in Bell Gardens, California at the Bicycle Casino.
The final table will start at 5pm and it is a live show, so come on down to the Bicycle Casino to be apart of this final table taping.
The events leading up to the final 6 have been astounding. Joe Sebok was the chip leader through out most of this tournament only to bust out number 7, other wise known as "bubble boy."
This is so heartbreaking, as this is Joe's second WPT event that he has busted out number 7 hence not making it to the final table.
I think Joe describes how he feels best in his own words "it really just sucks the ass of a goat. There just isn't any other way to say it."
Here's how the final hand played out:
Sebok raised to $120,000 from middle position and was reraised by Schneider out of the small blind. Sebok moved all in, and Schneider called. Sebok tabled pocket queens, and Schneider showed AJ. Sebok retained the lead on the flop when it came 652. However the turn brought a crushing A, and Sebok was drawing to two outs. The river was a brick when it came 10, and Sebok was sent to the rail in seventh place. A sick silence spread throughout the room and disappointment was written across Sebok’s face as he left the room. Many may remember that Sebok was also the television bubble boy at the 2006 WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star and the sting of this repeat effect hung heavy in the room. After this development on the bubble, the final six were set and play ended for the night. They will return tomorrow at 5 p.m. to play for the $1,634,865 and the title of Legends of Poker champion.
Here is how things will look this evening:
Seat No. 1 - Shi Jia Liu - $1,305,000
Seat No. 2 - Dan Harrington - $2,230,000
Seat No. 3 - Tom Schneider - $3,495,000
Seat No. 4 - Thu Nguyen - $1,475,000
Seat No. 5 - David 'The Dragon' Pham - $470,000
Seat No. 6 - Mike McClain - $725,000
