Neil Arce, one of the chip leaders to start the day, was faced with a tough decision. He had called Barry Cole's bet of 6,300 on a {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

board. With a total of 22,000 chips in the pot, Cole moved in for 24,000 more when the turn fell {10-Spades}

.

Arce went into the tank. After a minute, he started whistling and talking to himself. "Ace-ten?" he mused. After another minute, he gave an "Aww, f*ck it," and mucked his hand.

"Good fold," said Cole. He turned over {A-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

for top pair. He's on 46,000 now. Arce retains about 80,000.
