This hand started still in the last level when we were still playing 8,000/16,000. James Epner opened in mid position, for the third time, to 51,000 preflop. Right next to him it was Taylor Paur making it 83,000 to go. All other players folded and the action was back on Epner. He announced all in and after some extensive counting by the dealer and floor, it was 474,000 total to call for Paur. Some players at the table pointed out that Paur's raise wasn't enough and he had to commit 3,000 more to make it an official raise. Paur eventually folded with a big sigh. He had to toss in three 1,000 chips as well.
Unlike the fast pace of our first hour with four quick bust outs, the pace of the unofficial final table has slowed down significantly. It has been raise and take poker at its best.
Here are some tweets that went out as we headed into the final ten:
Just another WSOP final table for my brother Dan Idema! 2071 started, 10 left and Ivey just busted. He's the short stack, miracle time!Follow @PokercastAdam
From the small blind Taylor Paur made it 48,000 to go. Ryan Austin thought for a little while before making the call. The tention was high as the dealer brought out the 
, 
and as the flop. Paur made a 42,000 continuation bet. Austin thought for about a minute and then put in 86,000 for a little more than a min raise. Paur folded after some thinking.
Taylor Paur opened from early position to 40,000. It folded around to Tai Nguyen in the big blind who called. Both players checked 
flop. Nguyen check called Paur's bet of 34,000 on the turn. Both players then checked the river.
Paur asked Nguyen if he had a spade. Nguyen replied "no" misunderstanding the question as he turned over 
. Paur looked puzzled as he slid his cards into the muck, "No spade?" Nguyen just laughed.
