1,592 people paid to play in the seventh event at the 2008 World Series of Poker. The $2,000 NLHE tournament featured a tasty total prize pool of $2,899,260. The biggest news of the first two days were the Trans. JC, Jimmy, and Theo went deep in the event. Jimmy narrowly missed the final table, finishing in 12th place.

Both JC and Theo made it to that hotly contested final table. JC, in his fourth WSOP final table appearance, was sent to the rail in seventh place His pocket tens proved be no match for Carter Gill’s cowboys in the hole. JC earned $94,166 for a solid effort.

Theo was also eliminated by Carter Gill, a resident of Shasta, California who cashed in the Asia Pacific Poker Tour’s Grand Finale in Sydney, Australia last December. This time, the younger Tran, who made two WSOP final tables in the same week, held pocket sevens to the pair of hooks Gill had. He collected more than $191,000 as the fourth place finisher.

Gill would receive his walking papers next as cash-game specialist Matt Keikoan made trip sixes on a baby flop (3,6,9) against Gill’s jacks in the hole. One of the two remaining hooks in the deck did not surface to bail Gill out and the young man would have to be content with third place and $228,897.

With Gill’s elimination, Keikoan faced Shannon Shorr. Shorr, who turned 23 on June 7th, has multiple cashes at the World Series and a win at the Bellagio Cup II under his belt, began heads-up play with less chips than Keikoan.
Keikoan, who finished 63rd in the 2007 WSOP Main Event, earned a full house on the final hand, sealing Shorr’s status as runner-up.

Here are the results:

1) Matt Keikoan – $550,601
2) Shannon Shorr – $349,141
3) Carter Gill - $228,897
4) Theo Tran - $191,231
5) Chris Bjorin - $155,013
6) Mihai Manole - $123,141
7) JC Tran - $94,166
8) Alex Bolotin - $72,436
9) Mike Lisanti - $50,705
