Welcome back to the World Series of Poker and the final day of Event 22: $2,500 2-7 Triple Draw Lowball. Just nine payers remain and the aim for today is to play all the way to a winner. David "ODB" Baker leads the way but he has a talented pack chasing him that has the likes of Layne Flack, Jason Lavallee, and Shawn Buchanan in. Here's how the final nine line up:

Once we get down to seven the players will redraw onto one table. We'll still need to lose one player at that point to reach our official WSOP final table of six. Join us back here at 2:00 PM when play will resume.

Layne Flack Eliminated in 8th Place ($14,725)

Layne Flack
Layne Flack

Layne Flack managed to double up to 23,000 through Von Altizer, but he busted the very next hand.

He raised off the button and Altizer called from the small blind. Both checked after discarding two cards each, and then they drew one card each.

Altizer led for 12,000 and Flack tank-called all-in for his last 8,000. Altizer stood pat while Flack drew one last card in hope of finding a winning hand.

He didn't find it as Altizer opened {7-}{9-}{6-}{3-}{5-} and Flack mucked.

The remaining seven players are now being moved to the secondary feature table on the Pavilion room stage. We'll have the new seat draw and counts for you very shortly.
