Dan is out!

Flop came three diamonds, 10 high... Dan had some sort of middle pair, and went all in, Chris called with top pair. Neither one had any diamonds. Turn and river did not help Dan, he's out 3rd.

Chris has a huge chip lead (3 to 1 they're saying) over Sammy. On break now while we prepare for heads up play.

I bet you PokerStars is rooting hard for Chris.

They announced that the players are playing for no deals, to great applause from the audience. A deal was apparently offered by Chris to chop the money, but Sammy declined. There's a difference of over a million dollars between 1st and 2nd.

Brace yourself for a huge explosion in Internet poker.

Why the Hell would Chris wanna chop when he's been destroying the game for the last two hours?

Hey, Tim: If ya got the feed, please start a new thread called "Chris vs Sam" or something. Pokerpages is down and we need you! You'll be doing God's work, son. /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif

I guess Chris was trying to give Sammy some respect.

Ok, I'll start a new thread.

[yct]

Bust him.

[Insp. Clue!So?]

Because "destroying the game for the last 2 hours" is to a big extent a matter of luck?

Though the 2nd place finisher was incredibly foolish if reports of an even chop when down 3-1 in chips are accurate.
