Matt Stout (early position) fired a bet on the flop of ![]()
![]()
and got called by Mingda Bi in the big blind. The turn brought the
making a flush possible and killed the action; it went check, check. The

"King-high" said Bi. Stout tabled ![]()
and his small pair was good enough to take the pot.

The free-rolling Soukha Kachittavong has busted out of the Championship event, despite his best efforts. He was free-rolling the event, thanks to the Borgata's promotion where a free $3,500 seat is awarded based on a random drawing from players who entered on their web site.
With $1.5 million in tournament earnings, he was a good shot at parlaying that free entry into a payday, but it was not to be. He's likely to turn up in the $5,100 High Roller later today.
