As the lights were turned off on the 2008 World Series of Poker, not many people noticed Dean Hamrick. They were too busy celebrating the good fortune of the “November Nine.” Players and their friends and family were high fiving and hugging one another and the media was busy capturing these moments. Hamrick, eliminated in 10th place, made a quick exit out of the room. Alone.

This was it. With the exception of the final table scheduled for November, this would be the most tense and potentially exciting day of the 2008 World Series of Poker main event. Out of the original starting field of 6,844 players, only 27 remained, and play would progress on Day 7 until only 9 were left.

5:10 p.m.ESPN and Harrah's dream is shattered. With the blinds at 60,000/120,000, Dennis Phillips opened the pot from under the gun to 500,000. Peter Eastgate flat called from middle position and Tiffany Michelle called as well from the big blind. The flop came A-10-9 rainbow and Tiffany checked. Dennis bet one million and Peter quickly called. Tiffany had a look of amazement on her face.

79 players returned for day 6 action knowing that they were only 70 players away from reaching poker immortality and a shot at over 9 million dollars. Playes such as Phil Hellmuth, Victor Ramdin, Thomas Keller, and Mike Matusow entered play as the names to watch, but by the end of the day it would be new names that would emerge as the potential new stars of poker.

4:50 p.m.They improved the rail and I once again have better access for watching Tiffany Michelle playing. I joined the action right as she lost a big pot to Ivan Demidov. She had made a bet of 500K on the turn and 800K on the river and he re-raised to 2.2 million. She folded and was down to about three million after the hand.She didn't let this deter her.
