This time when Olisar checked, Musumeci readied a big bet. She had over 500,000 ready to bet and started placing stacks of 100,000 out onto the felt. The tournament director classified the way she bet as a string bet and Musumeci was forced to bet 105,000 - the amount which the first small stack she put onto the felt was.
Olisar immediately called the small bet and then mucked his hand as Musumeci turned over . Musumeci then asked Olisar if he would have called a bigger bet. He didn't tell her the answer.

The end of Dien Le's tournament has come to a halt in dramatic fashion as he exits the door in 9th place. It took two back-to-back hands to silence Le and the first one started like this.
Derrick Huang was in middle position when he shoved all-in for 670,000. Dien Le was in the cut-off seat, where he also shoved all-in, with his stack worth 680,000. The play was then on Greg Mueller in the big blind and he immediately got out of his seat. He seemed sickened by what he was seeing.
"I'm allowed to talk about my hand right?" Mueller said. "I'm last to act, i can show my hand or just say what it is?"
He still looked quite unhappy with the decision he would have to make as he said, "I have ace-king in the big blind."
Eventually Mueller decided to lay it down, showing his as he did so. With Mueller out and two players all in, we would watch the dealer spread five cards on the felt.
Le:
Huang:
By the time the board had run out , Huang had even more outs and when the hit the river, he had made his straight to stay alive and prosper. Le however, was down to just 10,000 in chips.
The very next hand, half of Le's stack was all-in with the ante and it would end up being the last hand of his tournament. That hand started with Derrick Huang opening to 85,000. Dien Le then flicked in his last 5,000 and Ashkan Razavi made the call in the big blind.
On the flop, Razavi checked and Huang bet 105,000. It was enough to get Razavi out of the hand and the two remaining players would turn their hands over. Le's was in trouble against the of Huang and despite the on the turn giving Le some hope, the on the river would end his tournament life in 9th place.
| Derrick Huang | 1,350,000 | 590,000 |
| Dien Le | 0 | -775,000 |

If you look to the rail here at the Event 9 Final Table you will notice a small group of people wearing shirts that have, "Ash Can Do It" printed on them. That seems to be true in the early stages of today's action.
A recent hand saw Ashkan Razavi open it up to 60,000 from middle position. Ryan Olisar made the call on the button and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Flop:
Razavi took his time to bet 90,000 and Olisar took just as long to raise it up to 200,000. This is when the hand sped up somewhat. Razavi would announce he was all-in and before he had the chance to slide his stack into the middle of the felt, Olisar had flicked his cards away.
As Razavi raked in his new chips, his railbirds, shirts and all, started cheering and chanting.
| Ryan Olisar | 3,350,000 | -365,000 |
| Ashkan Razavi | 1,190,000 | 205,000 |

While a steady flow of rail birds pile into the seats of the ESPN mothership, it is clear which players have the loudest rail and that is Ashkan Razavi and Greg Mueller. With both of those players from Canada, it's safe to assume where most of their fans hail from.
