Fortunately for Capra, the turn card was a nine to spike him with a full house. The river missed de Wolfe and Capra doubled to 53,000 in chips.

Rushing over to table nine we found Tony Guoga exiting his chair and making his way out the door.

Asking the table on the exact details of his bustout, we found out that he held {J-}{J-} against Jackson Zheng's {K-}{K-}, and when he failed to improve, Guoga was forced to exit the main event as Zheng climbs to 98,000 in chips.

Casey Kastle opened to 3,000 with Daniel Negreanu making the call next to act from the hijack.

With the action on local player Jim Ghobrial in the cutoff, he made it 9,500 to go. Kastle mucked, but when the action returned to Negreanu, he slid his (roughly) 80,000-chip stack into the pot.

Ghobrial couldn't call any faster for his 60,900 as he quickly flipped his cards over while standing up out of his chair and calling some railbirds over to sweat the result.

Negreanu: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Ghobrial: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

As fifteen players crowded the table, the dealer flipped over the windown card of the {Q-Diamonds} before spreading the {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop.

Calling for a diamond, Ghobrial was only able to catch a {4-Clubs} on the turn, but when the dealer dropped the {K-Hearts} on the river, Ghobrial erupted in cheers as he doubled through to 130,000 while Negreanu was left with under 20,000 in chips.
