Scott McMorran

Scott McMorran is a little unfortunate to have found himself in a raising war at the wrong moment and has been eliminated in 7th place, with Ruben Perceval the beneficiary of the hand.

Joel Miller got things started with a raise to 90k. Scott responded with a 3bet raise to 275K – only to find Ruben 4bet raise behind him to 675K. Action returned to Joel who simply folded, and Scott decided to push. Ruben made the call.

Ruben:

The flop offered no solace to Scott: and then the on the turn and river removed all hope. Ruben added well over 1.3M to his stack in the hand and is almost certainly a big chip leader in the tournament.

Scott’s elimination means there are just 6 players left – the official WPT Final Table! We’ll post more information about what to expect including full chip counts a little later this evening.

7th place: Scott James McMorran, $42,860.00

Zheng Wei

And just like that, in less than 10 minutes there have been 3 eliminations from the unofficial final table and the WPT is now just one elimination away from stopping for the day with 6 players remaining.

First to go was Khaly Dang, who found herself all-in holding facing the of Ruben Perceval. The run-out of missed her completely and Ruben’s pocket Tens hold.

10th place: Khaly Dang, $18,750.00

Next to be eliminated was Rene Fortin – who had been nursing a small stack all day and quite successfully laddering up pay jumps. Laddering up, that is, until he decided to shove with a small pair . He was called by Thomas Taylor holding and the community cards didn’t change a thing.

9th place: Rene Fortin, $25,630.00

Last to go was the most unlucky of the bunch. Wei Zheng was short-stacked since Tony Dunst cracked his pocket with by spiking a on the river and stacking almost 800K of Wei’s erstwhile stack. Ever patient, however, he waited for his spots – doubled up once – and finally pushed with and found a call from Seth Davies holding .

The flop was safe enough: as was the on the turn. The on the river brought out a gasp from the table as Wei had gotten super unlucky twice in a half hour and was eliminated from the tournament.

8th place: Zheng Wei, $34,180.00

The remaining 10 players have just taken their break while tournament staff have removed the yellow T1000 chips and we were able to refresh the chip counts for everyone during the time.

The current chip leader is Scott McMorran, with Seth Davies and Ruben Perceval following closely behind.

Jason Lavallée has hit the rail in 11th place, having lost his final hand to Joel Miller. Jason was in the bb in the hand, and Joel raised to 50K which was met with a quick shove from Jason for approximately 570K in chips. Joel called and the cards were revealed.

Jason:
Joel:

The flop had no solutions to Jason’s problem – in fact, it only propelled Joel further into the lead: and the turn led to a meaningless on the river.

11th place, Jason Lavallée, $18,750.00

Ha Van Nguyen and Rene Fortin have both been relatively short for most of the day, but sitting side-by-side, have been able to avoid playing too many pots together. That ended just now as Rene shoved and after some grimacing and gesticulating by Ha, he found a call.

Rene:
Ha:

The flop brought nothing for Rene: , but the turn was just what he needed and the blank on the river sent Ha to the tournament desk to pick up his payout coupon.

While we were paying attention to the hand on table 39, Harpreet Singh Gill was being eliminated from table 40.

13th place: Ha Van Nguyen, $15,300.00
