Official Chip Counts Seat 3 - Bruno Fitoussi - 6,610,000 Seat 4 - John Hanson - 5,095,000 Seat 5 - Freddy Deeb - 3,095,000 I'm kinda rooting for Hanson now purely for monetary reasons.

Re: WSOP 50k H.O.R.S.E ....updated now day 5, final table Last 10 Hands: #211-220 Here's a rundown of who won the last ten hands: Hand #211 - Bruno Fitoussi Hand #212 - John Hanson Hand #213 - Freddy Deeb Hand #214 - Bruno Fitoussi Hand #215 - John Hanson Hand #216 - Freddy Deeb Hand #217 - Bruno Fitoussi Hand #218 - Bruno Fitoussi Hand #219 - Freddy Deeb Hand #220 - Freddy Deeb Hand #211 was the only one that went to the river. It was worth 2.4M and won by Bruno Fitoussi. He had lost the chip lead to John Hanson but fought to get it back after winning a couple of smaller hands. Deeb took down a 2.2M pot from Hansen to give the lead back to Fitoussi. Seven Card Stud The game switches to seven card stud, with antes of 40,000, a bring in of 50,000, and a 180,000 completion. The limits are 180,000-360,000. Play continues without a break.

Re: WSOP 50k H.O.R.S.E ....updated now day 5, final table Fitoussi seems to have regained momentum. Hanson and Deeb maybe winning hands but it's Fitoussi who seems to be winning the most important ones.

Fitoussi seems to have regained momentum. Hanson and Deeb maybe winning hands but it's Fitoussi who seems to be winning the most important ones.

Well, not in the next hand. Hand #237 - Freddy Deeb Wins a 3.2 Million Pot Hand #237 - (7 Card Stud) Bruno Fitoussi: John Hanson: Freddy Deeb: 3rd: Deeb brings it in for 50,000, Fitoussi completes to 180,000, and Deeb calls. 4th: Both players pair up. Fitoussi bets 360,000, and Deeb calls. 5th: Fitoussi bets 360,000, and Deeb calls. 6th: Fitoussi bets 360,000, and Deeb calls. 7th: Fitoussi checks, Deeb bets 360,000, and Fitoussi goes into the tank, standing up to study Deeb's cards more carefully. Fitoussi rechecks his own cards, and quickly shakes his head. He takes a drink from a styrofoam coffee cup, and then picks up a few chips as he continues to study Deeb's cards, standing the entire time. He counts out the size of the bet, and has his hands on the chips as if he's ready to call. Deeb is sitting still, with his eyes darting around the table to look at the cards and Fitoussi. After about three minutes, Fitoussi calls. Deeb shows 3-x-x for trip threes, and Fitoussi shows A-A-x for two pair, aces and queens. Freddy Deeb wins the pot worth 3.2 million.

Re: WSOP 50k H.O.R.S.E ....updated now day 5, final table Thankfully I kept the bets I had at a fun level otherwise I'd be clicking on refresh over at PokerNews like a madman (mind you, I'm already doing that!). It was looking kinda inevitable that John Hanson was bleeding away and was probably going to be the one KOed into third place but then the pressure seems to be shifting back to Freddy Deeb. The only one who seems not to be suffering is Bruno Fitoussi. I'm having to root for Deeb and/or Hanson to get their act together to KO Fitoussi and it doesn't seem to be happening. Oh the humanity! :( Deeb and Hanson are going to clobber each other until one of 'em gets knocked out and Fitoussi will clean up what's left at this rate. :eyes Who here would have backed Bruno Fitoussi at 12/1!? :eek It's just as dramatic as last year but all it seems to be lacking is 'star power'. You have Deeb being theatrical (he appears to be the most vocal) and being a bit nitty (not moving out of his seat so John Hanson can get a better view of the tournameet clock and what not ~ not Deeb's fault as ESPN wouldn't move their cameraman out of Hanson's eyeline either and Hanson was overruled by the tournament director).

Re: WSOP 50k H.O.R.S.E ....updated now day 5, final table It really is a pick'em anyone's game type of affair...Hanson gets back in the game with this! Hand #274 - John Hanson Hand #274 - (Hold'em) Freddy Deeb has the button in seat 5, he raises to 400,000, Fitoussi calls from the small blind, and Hanson calls from the big blind. The flop comes , Fitoussi checks, Hanson bets 200,000, Deeb calls, and Fitoussi calls. The turn card is the , Fitoussi checks, Hanson bets 400,000, Deeb folds, and Fitoussi checks out Hanson's stack to see how much he has left. (Hanson has about 490,000 behind right now.) Fitoussi thinks for about three minutes before he calls. The river card is the , Fitoussi checks, Hanson bets 400,000, and Fitoussi takes off his hat and says, "Wow." He studies the board a bit, and starts talking to Hanson, presumably to get a read. Fitoussi calls, and Hanson shows for a pair of kings with a queen kicker. Fitoussi mucks, and John Hanson wins the pot.

Re: WSOP 50k H.O.R.S.E ....updated now day 5, final table Oh well...my timing couldn't be worse (commentator's curse!) as the game moves to Omaha/8 or Better, the chip-counts are...

Remember when Thor Hansen was all in on the first hand and busted out?? If you do, you are a true die hard fan and have been following along with our coverage of the $50K HORSE final table for over a half a day. There are three players remaining, Bruno Fitoussi, John Hanson, and Freddy Deeb. All of them had held the chiplead at some point over the last twelve hours. Fitoussi had the largest margin over the other two players, but since then they have caught up as the lead changed hands several times. Although we don't expext this final table to last longer than the 2006 marathon of a final table, rest assured that we will be here providing coverage until the final hand.

Play Resumes w/Razz The players return from their break to start playing razz. If anything can wake these guys up ... well, it's not razz. The antes are big (50,000), the bring in is bigger (70,000), and the completion is outrageously high (250,000). The limits are 250,000-500,000. There is 220,000 in the pot before anybody acts. If someone completes on third street, and there is a bet on every street without raises, it costs 2,050,000 each to get to a showdown. ========== Not quite WPT final table/shove-and-hope tactics yet but we're getting gradually closer! :lol :rollin

Re: WSOP 50k H.O.R.S.E ....updated now day 5, final table The Edge? At this point, with the chips evenly dispersed among the players, does any of them hold an edge? Freddy Deeb might have the most experience and more impressive poker resume. Plus, the one thing that he might be able to do better than Joh Hanson is to be able to endure a long session that lasts until 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning. When poker players get tired, they tend to make bad decisions and that's the difference between third place and winning a bracelet in HORSE. Whoever is the least tired might be able to take advantage of the impatient and undisciplined play from their exhausted counterparts.
