We glanced up at the payouts line and saw Nam Le waiting to get his tax form and winnings. He seems quitely to have busted out of the Main Event.

Cossette Out-Flips Carron

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

For some of the short stacks, the best they can hope for at this point is a flip. Patrick Carron got his last chips in with {A-Spades}

against Daniel Cossette's pocket queens. A jack-high board didn't improve Carron's hand; he's now on the rail.

Cossette is up to 740,000.

Olivier Busquet raised to 16,000 before Mclean Karr reraised to 40,000. Busquet then four-bet to 100,000 and Karr moved all in for about 525,000. Busquet snap-called him and tabled two red aces.

"Oh my god, oh my god! I just blew up!" yelled out Karr as he rolled over his {K-Clubs}

.

The flop, turn and river ran out {J-Spades}

and Karr was unable to deliver the bad beat to Busquet who raked in the massive pot having Karr covered and moved to nearly 1.2 million chips.
