2:35 PM NLHE final table should start soon. 2:30 PM They are using the "1-2-shoot" format. According to Gordon, "1-2-3-shoot" is the European format. 1st Round Bobby Boyd defeats Rafe Furst, 4-2 2nd Round Kevin Keller defeats Annie Duke, 4-2$ *Duke used the serial numbers on a dollar bill to randomize her throws. This means that Keller could not gain any psychological advantage. However, it means that the result of the contest was essentially a coin toss. Final Round Bobby Boyd defeats Kevin Keller, 4-3 Keller was up 3-1, but Boyd rallied and won 3 in a row for the victory. Boyd receives hugs from Dutch and Scott Fischman. He also receives a trophy, which appears to be scissors and a rock glued to a paper plate, and a "bracelet", which appears to be a purple rubber band. And, he wins the $10,000 seat. 2:16 PM 64 players, mostly pros, paid $200 each to enter this contest. $5,000 is going to the Cancer Research & Prevention Foundation (Gordon's "Put a Bad Beat on Cancer" charity), and the winner of the contest will receive an entry into the Main Event of the WSOP. There's a $2,200 imbalance there - I assume Gordon is putting up the difference. This contest is being taped by ESPN. It will probably appear on "The Nuts", or this year's equivalent. Four players remain: Bobby Boyd, Rafe Furst, Annie Duke, and Kevin Keller. They are playing best-of-7 elimination matches. Sunday, 1:55 PM The start of the $2,000 NLHE final table will be delayed until approximately 3 PM, in order to bring you the finals of Phil Gordon's "Roshambo" (Rock Scissors Paper) tournament. Also, for some more history on Phil Gordon's fondness for Rock Scissors Paper (Fine. Roshambo.), check out this old episode of This American Life. 11:10 PM The final is slated for 2PM tomorrow, Pacific time. See you there.  Harry Demetriou  Paul Sexton  Cyndy Violette  Fabrice Soulier  Morgan Machina  Erik Seidel  Bill Blanda  Chris Wunderlich  Perry Friedman 11:00 PM We have our final 9. We lost him on a classic matchup. Mark raised to 50K and Morgan reraised to 150K and Mark called. The flop came K T 3. Morgan bets and Mark pushes all in. Mark shows A K and Morgan A Q. The turn brings the magic card for Morgan, the J and makes him broadway for the win. Mark goes out 10th. 10th Mark Ketteringham $28,395 10:55 Mark took most of Bill's chips in the first hand out of the chute. Bill was small blind and lost with his QQ vs K8 to a K on the board. He turned around and went all in against Cyndy with a Q5 off and doubled up with high card vs her J4. 10:45 The scene is set for the final elimination. One player misses his chance to make it to the TV arena tonight. Approximate starting chip count: 1 Chris 135K 2 Cyndy 400K 3 Erik 380K 4 Soulier 250K 5 Perry 150K 6 Mark 115K 7 Morgan 700K 8 Paul 370K 9 Bill 135k 10 Harry 210K 10:30 PM This is Sharla reporting the final 12 of the no limit holdem. During the changing of the guard, two casualties occured back to back at the same table. John Grooms has the final 10 drawing for seats and we will be back to it in a few minutes. Cyndy the "eliminator" took out Dani Awad with a royal flush. She is virtually unstoppable. 11th Dani Awad $28,395 The player who left in 12th position was Chris Demaci. He came into the hand with the "mighty" AK and ran into a pair of tens. Nothing materialized for Chris but Morgan Machina turned the already winning T T into a full house to add insult to injury. 12th Chris Demaci $28,395 10:05 PM Results 13th Kevin Fox $23,235 14th Ayaz Mahmood $23,235 9:50 PM Results 15th Francois SaFieddine $23,235 9:40 PM Results 16th Ken James $18,070 Chip Counts Cyndy Violette 560,000 Paul Sexton 390,000 Morgan Machina 250,000 Soulier Fabrice 240,000 Bill Blanda 240,000 Erik Seidel 220,000 Chris De Maci 200,000 Average 187,067 Harry Demetriou 165,000 Mark Ketteringham 150,000 Perry Friedman 115,000 Chris Wunderlich 75,000 Dani Awad 70,000 Kevin Fox 60,000 Ayaz Mahmood 55,000 Francois Safieddine 45,000 9:15 PM Chip Count Cyndy Violette 610,000 Chris De Maci 280,000 Morgan Machina 270,000 Soulier Fabrice 200,000 Harry Demetriou 190,000 Average 175,375 Ken James 155,000 Paul Sexton 150,000 Mark Ketteringham 130,000 Chris Wunderlich 130,000 Perry Friedman 120,000 Dani Awad 110,000 Kevin Fox 90,000 Ayaz Mahmood 90,000 Bill Blanda 85,000 Erik Seidel 70,000 Francois Safieddine 60,000 Results 17th Joel Chang $18,070 7:30 PM Dinner break.
