Matthew Matros was looking to get the rest of Amnuey Sri's chips when Sri went all in on a flop reading 
.
Matros: 
Sri: 
For a while it looked like Sri was heading for a double up. He faded Matros' outs with the 
on the turn but was unable to do so twice as the came on the river, giving Matros two pair.
Matros was the last elimination of the night, and the remaining 13 players will return to play to a winner tomorrow.
It feels like we've been in the Amazon Room forever, but it has been a mere 13 hours. In 10 short levels we have whittled our field down from 177 to just 13 - no mean feat given the traditionally rather sluggish pace of limit hold'em.
Although a lot of big names busted out today - Chad Brown, Barry Greenstein and Phil Ivey among them - it looks to be a high-grade final that we are heading towards as the chips are bagged up.
Jameson Painter started the day as chip leader and indeed remains a big stack as we head to the final day. Barring early disasters tomorrow, Painter will be making his second final table of this year's WSOP after finishing 5th in the $2,500 2-7 Draw Lowball event just a few days ago.
However, he was just pipped to the chip lead post by Jason Potter - on 371,000, Potter is the man to beat.
Also still in the running are Ben Lamb who finished 14th in last year's Main Event here at the Rio, Georgios Kapalas who finaled at EPT Barcelona last year, and Matt Matros who is so good he's written books about this sort of thing.
We'll be reconvening at 3pm PT to play this baby right down to a winner. Until then, goodnight.
