Nick "Frodo" Wright defended his blind to an opponent who had been bullying him around for most of the day. Wright made a stand with A-9 and unfortunately ran into A-Q. Wright has been eliminated from the main event.

"Looks like I'll either be drinking at the bar or playing in cash games," Wright told us as he left the tournament area.
