Earlier in the tournament we reported that Terrence Chan notched his ninth cash of the 2012 WSOP when he finished in 117th place. We'd be remiss if we didn't also mention Joe Tehan, who is still alive in this field and will be scoring his ninth cash of the series no matter where he finishes.

Not more than a half an hour ago, Joe Tehan sat atop the chip counts. That made it all the more surprising when he became our latest casualty. We're not sure of all the specifics, but we did arrive at his table just in time to see him get his last 35,000 in on a flop of . Mikhail Semin had him covered and at risk.
Showdown
Tehan:
Semin:
Tehan was ahead with jacks and fours when the chips went in, not to mention an ace-high flush draw, but the running turn and river gave Semin top two pair and the win.
A quick check of Tehan's Twitter reveals what left him with a less than average stack in the first place:

We've just had a rush of eliminations, including Andrey Zaichenko (68th), Tony Cousineau (70th), and Allen "The Chainsaw" Kessler (71st). Kessler does the reporting — with picture — of his elimination at the hands of Steven Loube via Twitter:
