With twenty minutes left to go in Day 4, Smokey was eliminated dashing all of my hopes for one of Michael's friends to win big at the main event. He was eliminated in 199th place. Since there were 6,844 players who started, this in and of itself is a great feat. He was awarded $38, 600 for his efforts.
David Rheem Eliminates Steve Billirakis
After David "Chino" Rheem raised to 30,000 Steve Billirakis moved in from the big blind for his last 260,000. Rheem called and his QQ were well ahead of Billirakis' 88. The flop came 9J3 and the 7 gave Rheem a flush draw and Billirakis a gutshot, but the 2 came on the river and Billirakis was eliminated. Rheem is now all the way up to
two million in chips.
two million in chips.
So ends my WSOP coverage for 2008. What's up ahead. Michael and his friends go to Europe in September where they will be playing in the European events in Barcelona, Amsterdam, London and Ireland just to name a few. Now it's time for them all to come home and come to the shore to visit me. The welcome mat is waiting for them.....and that means you Smokey!!!!
