Matusow has been slowly clawing his way to the top as the bubble wears on. Seems to be stealing at least 2 pots an orbit.

Title: Tex Barch Doubles Up Through Andrew Black
Log:
Hand 41 - Andrew Black has the button in seat 2, Matusow raises to $260,000, Lazar calls, Black calls, Barch reraises to $1,000,000, and everyone folds to Black, who thinks long and hard. After a few minutes, Black reraises all in. Now the million-dollar pressure cooker is in full force on Tex Barch, who counts out his chips as he considers the call. Andrew Black looks relaxed as he takes a drink from his water bottle, and then watches Barch count his chips. Barch takes a good look at Black, who was looking down and shuffling his chips. When Black looks up, their eyes meet for a moment, and Black smiles at the surprise. About ten seconds later, Barch makes the call.

Andrew Black shows Kh-Js, while Barch has pocket jacks (Jh-Jc). This is the biggest pot of the tournament, and whoever wins this pot will be our chip leader. If Black wins, he'll take a commanding position headed to tomorrow's final table. If Barch wins, he'll put himself in great position as well.

The crowd is yelling for their favorites when Mike Matusow stands up and light-heartedly says, "Keep it down! I'm trying to concentrate!"

The flop comes Ah-4d-3c, and Barch is still in the lead with the jacks. Black needs to catch a king or a runner-runner straight to eliminate Barch. The turn card is the Qs, and the crowd lets out a huge reaction to the paint on the board. Black has picked up some more outs, and he can win with a ten or a king (7 outs).

The crowd goes quiet, with random exclamations from the crowd asking for specific cards. The river card is the 3h, and most of the crowd applauds as Tex Barch doubles up in chips.

After the hand, Andrew Black stands up, smiles, and waves to the crowd, as if to say, "That's alright. Let's play poker."

Well that should certainly make things more interesting. I wouldn't be surprised to see Matusow take advanteg of this opportunity and come out of this with the chip lead now. He certainly looks to be moving up.

Maybe Black got a bit too agressive this time. Thats a bigtime pot and a heck of a call.

Russ McGinley · #**567** 07-15-2005, 05:42 AM

Looks like the final table will be pretty balanced. 1-8 are separated by only about 5 million.

Man, I was looking foward to Shahram Sheikhan exit video. Too bad.

Hand 44 - Daniel Bergsdorf has the button in seat 5, Lazar raises to $240,000, Alsancak reraises all in, and Lazar calls. Alsancak shows pocket queens (Qs-Qd), while Lazar has Ah-Jh. As the shorter stack, Alsancak faces potential elimination on this hand. The flop comes Ad-7c-4s, and Lazar takes the lead with a pair of aces. Alsancak needs to catch a queen (two outs) to stay alive. The turn card is the 7h, and Alsancak is down to his last chance to make the TV Final Table in the 2005 World Series of Poker.

The river card is -- the QUEEN of hearts!

The crowd goes wild in surprise and applause, as Lazar just sits there, stunned. The media and the ESPN crew seem noticeably disappointed, hoping to get out of here before 6:00 am.

Jack Effel hears a comment from the sidelines, and repeats it on the microphone, to big laughs from the crowd: "Just like on the Internet."
