Re: \"Official\" ESPN Coverage of WSOP Main Event: Final Table
Hand 125 - Steve Dannenmann has the button in seat 8, Barch raises to $600,000, Dannenmann calls, and Black calls. The flop comes 9s-6c-5c, Black bets $1,000,000, Barch folds, and Dannenmann sits still, looking at the cards. He doesn't look that interested, but after a little while he quietly says, "All in."
Now Black lifts his sunglasses up on his head, and starts taking the situation more seriously, studying the board with a wry smile. Dannenmann is smiling back at him a bit, which he's done a lot tonight. Finally, Black confidently says, "I call."
Black shows 10s-9h (top pair), while Dannenmann has As-6s (second pair). Dannenmann needs to catch a six, an ace, or running spades to win this pot, which could be the largest of the tournament so far.
The turn card is the 3c, and Dannenmann needs to catch a six or an ace (5 outs) to stay alive.
The river card is the Ac, and Dannenmann makes two pair to take a huge pot from the Irishman Andrew Black.
1. Steve Dannenmann - $19,000,000 (seat 8)
2. Aaron Kanter - $17,000,000 (seat 6)
3. Tex Barch - $11,000,000 (seat 3)
4. Joseph Hachem - $5,000,000 (seat 1)
5. Andrew Black - $3,500,000 (seat 2)
