Melius thought for a few minutes before calling off, and it proved to be the wrong decision as his was no good against the of Melius.

Jaspreet Panchhi opened for 6,000 only to be met by a three-bet to 16,500 by WSOP Circuit ring winner and Foxwoods fifth-place finisher Ben Reason, who was recently featured in an edition of PokerNews' popular Circuit Grinder series. Panchhi responded by moving all in for 110,000 and Reason snap-called.
Panchhi:
Reason:
It was a flip, but not after the flop came down . Panchhi flopped trips to take a commanding lead while Reason was suddenly looking for an eight to reclaim the lead. The turn wasn't what he was looking for and neither was the .
"Nice hand," was all Reason offered as he sent more than half his stack to Panchhi.

There will be no second World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event title for Kevin “BeL0WaB0Ve” Saul in the 2012-2013 season as he had been eliminated.
The Foxwoods Main Event champ called off his last 12,500 after Joseph Alesna had moved all in from early position for 23,000. Michael Benton then called from the button to put both players at risk.
Saul:
Alesna:
Benton:
Everyone held an ace, which meant Alesna's king kicker had him out in front. Saul had the worst of it and was out of his seat before he saw the flop paired his nine to give him the lead. The turn brought him one step closer to a triple, but the spiked on the river to give Alesna the pot.
Saul, clearly disappointed, threw his backpack off the stage and quickly disappeared to retrieve it.
