One more than I thought would be left. It's almost a crapshoot to get out of the huge field. Alan Cunningham(4 bracelets) is still in it with 9 to go, unless I missed something:
So it sounds like Gold is a lucky loose player to me, Cunningham should have the edge.
Heading into the final table Thursday, Gold and Cunningham had almost half the chips in circulation. Gold had the dominant lead with 25.7 million, while Cunningham had 17.8 million when play stopped in the early morning hours on Wednesday.
"I want to see if he can actually pull it off," Chung said of Gold's chances of winning the top prize of $12 million. "He's really loose. I think he needs to change gears."
Perhaps it was witnessing Gold's bad-acting bluff that peeled several million in chips off Prahlad Friedman's stack with an unsuited, unpaired king and 10 earlier that sent William Thorson, a 23-year-old poker player from Sweden, off to an early demise.
Thorson committed all his 4.6 million in chips into a heads-up pot with Gold, despite Gold's ominous 1 million re-raise one bet earlier. Thorson turned over two jacks and Gold turned over pocket kings. And that was that. Thorson finished 13th for $907,128 -- becoming Gold's sixth victim of the session.
"I probably would lay down against any other player but he raised like every single hand," Thorson said.
