Matt Ross Eliminated in 7th Place

Saturday, October 10, 2009 - Gene Bromberg

We stopped play last night with 7 players remaining so we could end at a decent hour, and it didn’t take long for us to lose the player who turned out to be unlucky number seven. Matt Ross moved in for the last of his chips and Roberto Santos asked for a count. Once that was done he announced a call and his Ace-King were racing against Ross’ pocket sevens. Santos has run really good with Ace-King this week and this hand was no exception, as there was an Ace on the flop that thrilled Roberto’s supporters and left Ross staring at his impending doom.

The turn didn’t provide a seven and when the river brought another Ace it was time to celebrate for Santos and time to say goodbye to Matt Ross.

Ross wins $41,470 for his seven-place finish and here are the chip counts for our six remaining players:

Robert Mizrachi – 2,100,000
Eric Baldwin – 1,520,000
Chase Steely – 1,220,000
Brock Parker – 1,000,000
Brandon Hall – 560,000
Roberto Santos – 492,000
