Event 6 Day 1E: Final Seven Bag and Tag

$350  No Limit Hold’em
Level 14: 2,000/4,000/500 Ante
Players Remaining: 7/72

Robin Williams vs. Joe GaleWith eight players remaining in Flight E of Event 6, Joe Gale moved all in olding 8h8d and Robert “Carwash” Williams called with KcQh. The flop came safe for Gale, but Williams spiked a queen on the turn. Gale got no help on the river and was officially the flight’s bubble boy.

For Gale, the bustout was a touch ironic. He was on the opposite end of the spectrum in one of the series’ premiere events just a few days ago when he busted Abbey Daniel on the bubble in the $130 Deep Stack tournament.

Flight E is now down to the final seven players and concluded for the evening. It appears Williams will bag the chip lead. Complete combined counts will be posted shortly.

As of now, the tournament’s chip leader appears to be Chad Freedman of Miami. Freedman’s 12,000-chip starting stack turned into about 55,000 over the course of the first six levels and he’s off to a nice start heading to the 400/800 level.

These payouts will be processed on Day 2 after the prize pool is finalized.

No one has yet claimed the prize to this point, but four flights remain including today’s 11 a.m. (late registration/unlimited re-entry available until 2:15 p.m.) and tonight’s 6 p.m. installment.
