Fox Eliminated; Watkins in Fold-or-Shove Mode

Stopping by Vinny Pahuja's table, we noticed that he is no longer seated next to David Fox. According to Pahuja, Fox got to the table and played a bunch of hands that didn't work out in his favor. After a while, Fox made his final stand holding pocket eights against an opponent's big slick. Fox's opponent made two pair on the flop, which proved good enough to eliminate Fox after everything was said and done.

Va Shon Watkins hasn't had much work out for him today, but he's stayed patient. Watkins has been moving in over the top of preflop raises here and there to pick up chips and keep himself out of terrible short-stack territory. He has only about 8,000 chips, but is managing things fairly well.
