The Final Four Agree to a Deal

After some lengthy discussions, the final four finally agreed to a deal that sees everyone lock up a nice profit. Aneris Adomkevicius held a decent chip lead, while Kenneth Morrison was the short stack. Ryan Van Sanford and Patrick Eskandar were close in chips in the middle, so here is how the final four worked it out.

Aneris Adomkevicius - $48,500

Patrick Eskandar- $41,000

Ryan Van Sanford - $40,500

Kenneth Morrison - $20,000

The Survivor Event is Now on the Bubble

There were a few failed attempts to work out a deal of sorts when five handed, and then Sami Shurbaji busted to Ryan Van Sanford. Now, we have just four players left, and as of right now, they are planning to still play it out to the final three. Here is how the players stack up, as we are about to go to the 5,000-10,000 level.

Aneris Adomkevicius - 535,000
Patrick Eskandar - 476,000
Ryan Van Sanford - 290,000
Kenneth Morrison - 225,000

Gueorgui Gantchev Leads the Legends of Poker TV Table

Taylor Black moved his short stack all in preflop holding [Ks][9s], and Gueorgui Gantchev called in the big blind with [Jh][8d]. The board ran out [Qc][6h][6c][10d][9h], and Gantchev was able to make a straight on the river to send Black to the rail in seventh place.

Below you will see how the final six stack up heading into tomorrow's finals. Bike regulars Jared Griener and Antonios Roungeris will be hoping to keep the title in town, but it will be a tall task. The cards will be back in the air tomorrow at 2 PM, and the live stream will be starting on Live at the Bike at 2:30 PM. Good luck to the final six!

Seat 1: Jared Griener - 2,750,000

Seat 2: Aaron Van Blarcum - 2,050,000

Seat 3: Jisup Hwang - 4,380,000

Seat 4: Antonios Roungeris - 2,720,000

Seat 5: Gueorgui Gantchev - 5,560,000

Seat 6: Vahan Sudzhyan - 3,335,000

Just One More Elimination Left in the Main Event

Blinds: 25,000-50,000

We just had back-to-back eliminations over in the Main Event that leaves us with the final seven players. First, Jeremy Joseph went for a bluff on the river after the board was dealt out [9s][5s][7s][3s][8d]. Gueorgui Gantchecv fired out 200,000, and Joseph moved all in for 795,000. Gantchecv called with [Js][7c] for a flush, while Joseph could only muster up [Ac][Jh].

Right after that, Kitty Kuo would three bet shove with [Kd][Qd], and the original raiser, Jared Griener, called with [Ah][Kh]. Neither player would improve, meaning Griener would take the hand.

At the moment, Taylor Black is alone at the bottom with 945,000. No one else currently has less than 2.4 million.

Updated Counts From the Final Five in Survivor

We have just five players remaining now in the Survivor Event, but only three of them will be walking home with $50,000 each. A couple of players have suggested making some sort of a deal to lock everyone up some money, but so far it hasn't gained any traction. Here is how the final five stand right now.

Blinds: 3,000-6,000 Average: 300,000

Aneris Adomkevicius - 623,000
Ryan Van Sanford - 285,000

Just 12 Remain Now in the Main Event

Players are taking their fourth break of the day, and we are down to just 12 players left. Once we combine to one table, we will post updated counts and pictures for everyone still in. Until then, here are the most recent bustouts.

Arash Ghaneian and Peter Neff each took home $29,560, while start of day chip leader Kimbo Ung busted out in 15th place, earning $24,130.

Slow Going in Both Events Right Now

We haven't had a post in a while because, well, there hasn't been much to report. The average stack in both the Main Event and the $5,300 Survivor Event is about 45 big blinds each, so there haven't been a ton of meaningful pots in either event. We can report that Aaron Mermelstein busted in 16th in the Main Event, while Brock Wilson was the first to bust at the Survivor final table.

There are 15 players left in the Main Event, and eight remaining in the Survivor Event. Stay tuned for more updates from each tournament!
