Edward Ochana continued his aggressive play and raised again preflop, this time to 85,000. Joe Commisso made the call from the small blind. The flop came down {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {5-Spades}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Commisso bet out 85,000. Ochana made the call. The river was the {2-Spades} and Commisso bet 200,000. Ochana made the call.

"Fives full," said Commisso as he rolled over {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}.

"Good hand," replied Ochana and he mucked.

Commisso is now at 2.1 million chips and Ochana has dropped down to one million.

Will Failla Eliminated in 7th Place ($82,858)

Richard Lyndaker raised to 65,000 from under the gun and Edward Ochana called from middle position. Action folded to Will Failla in the big blind and he moved all in for a total of 250,000. Lyndaker quickly announced, "I'm all in!"

Ochana flashed two tens, one red, one black, and then mucked his hand. Failla said, "I got coolered," as if he knew what he was in for.

Lyndaker held {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} and Failla held {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}.

The board ran out {9-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {9-Spades} {2-Clubs} and that would be it for Failla. He missed the official final table by one spot and earns $82,858 for his efforts. He congratulated everyone on making the final table, shook their hands, and then moved out of the tournament area.

End of Day 1

It took more than 15 hours, but we've finally established the final table for Event No. 46, the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Short-Handed event. Five of the six who made it -- Joe Commisso, Samuel Trickett, Tom Lutz, Edward Ochana, and current chip leader Richard Lyndaker -- held the chip lead at some point during the latter stages of today's play. And our sixth player, Davidi Kitai, will be gunning for his second WSOP bracelet this summer after having won Event No. 38, the $2,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em event, less than a week ago.

Join us tomorrow -- or, rather, later today -- at 2pm PDT to see who among these six will claim the gold bracelet.
